Close encounter…


Hi,

another moment at the island of Tiengemeten. The Scottish Highland cattle that were introduced here, are a popular subject for photography. They are known for their friendly character……yeah right. I was appraoching this subadult cow with my wide angle lens to make a low level shot, emphasising the dark cloudy sky. It was keeping an eye on me, and the other way around. After getting the shot I stood up a little bit too promptly and a nearby mother cow with two calves did not like my sudden rising. She charged twice and I had to run a short distance to stay out of reach! It was good to know these animals still have their wild instinct, in the end they should appeal to the public’s sense of wilderness on this island.

Cheers, Niels
