Every one knows, (don't they?), that the cow is held very sacred in India. They get to go exactly where they want. Or lie. Whatevaaaaa... (Do you know, I never noticed till posting this that there was one horn missing?) Taken with the 'Nik' on auto and lens extended to about 3x.
Hari OM Bill - eeeek! You WOULD have them running "scared"! Seriously though, the cow is the ultimate expression of utility and motherhood; producing milk to drink and dung to form fuel and fertiliser. The bulls they produce are neutered and the bullocks become the beasts of work - pulling ploughs, pulling carts, turning water winches... (Hmm perhaps there;s a post in this for 'MENO' blog...&*>)
Joanne - very attractive and I found the unusual brown very appealing - mostly the Brahmins are white/cream
Sylvia - The Brahmin cattle do seem to have a very philosophical look!
Roast Beef comes to mind over here. Wonder why they hold them scared
ReplyDeleteA handsome beast, horn or no.
ReplyDeleteHe looks deep in thought -- maybe he's wondering what happened to his other horn, too! Hope you're ready for a great new week!!
