Sheep on Glastonbury Tor!

De beaux petits curieux !
Bon jour mon amie.

Thank you Jocelyne.
Good afternoon.

What a beautiful vista, Rosa. I love the way the sheep are looking at the camera. Cheers, Joe

Thank you Joe. The sheep seemed very used to people and sat amongst them.
Usually they just run away! Cheers, Rosa.

A beautiful photo - how the sheep are enthroned over the village...

Thank you very much Udo.

Wow, a great place with a tremendous view!

Thank you very much Stephan.

Wow,dieses Drohnenvideo ist ja echt toll liebe Rosa,wie herrlich da alles rüberkommt,ganz toll aufgenommen,ich finde auch deine schöne Aufnahme der Schafe passt da wunderbar dazu,da stelle ich mich gleich dazu zu den Schafen :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thank you very much Günter. The sheep were sharing their space well with us :-)
I loved the video my son-in-law took. He's still learning how to use it to best effect.

Best wishes and happy Thursday, Rosa.

Boah,das war aber schön sehr gut,wie das von da oben rüberkommt liebe Rosa:))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Superbe image de ce troupeau sympathique !
Bonne journée. Amitiés

Thank you Madeleine. Yes more friendly than most sheep!
Happy Thursday.
Regards.

The sheep look great Rosa and the drone clip looks very professional ~ Warm wishes ~ Nick

Thank you very much Nick. He has just bought a new drone and is still getting used to it, but he is getting some lovely footage. Where he lives in Yeovil, they are banned completely, because of the helicopter business and Yeovilton of course.

Warm wishes, Rosa.

Congratulations for this beautiful country photo and.... for the video of your son-in-law ***********
Cheers to both!**************

Thank you very much Nouchet. My son-in-law will be pleased with your kind comment.
Happy Thursday :-)

très belle photo comme une carte postale ***

Thank you very much Annick.

Beautiful image

They are curious, about the camera??

I think they are used to it Dinesh. They share their space well.
Thank you for your kind comment.

nice the bg also

Thank you Annemarie.

What a lovely animal picture

Thank you very much Jaap.

A great Image Rosa love sheep I have manny photos .
Best TOZ

Thank you TOZ. I think these sheep were enjoying the attention ;-)
Good evening, Rosa.

Such a beautiful image Rosa............the sheep are certainly not camera-shy. The view from up there looks really awesome.

Your son-in-law's drone footage is fantastic.........and shares perspectives that relatively few people will ever see. Brilliantly done!

It does look like a bit of a trek to get up there though (I don't suppose there is a lift)?

Thank you Keith. Many of the sheep were sat with children! It was lovely to see, and none of them were bothered.

Lee is really enjoying using the drone and has been asked to do a couple of weddings, which have been fantastic and 'different' footage.

Haha, no lift I'm afraid and the first time I ever climbed to the top I took the back steps, which at times was scary! You can see how much steeper it is in the video. The NT path, although quite a climb, is a lot easier.

Very nice indeed. I wonder id there are related to the ones we saw when up here some years back now.

Thanks for sharing with our UK Landscape Photography Group , Herb

Could be Herb, you never know ;-))
Thanks a lot and thank you for allowing it in your group.
Cheers, Rosa.

Magnificent, Rosa! The sheep in the front are an absolute must for this photo. They do look esoteric ;-))

Great video as well! Do I remember this location from one of the Barnaby episodes?? ;-)

Thank you Edna. They are the guardian's of the Tor....at least, they think so ;-)

Wrong area for the Inspector....unless he was moonlighting! ;-)

There was an episode (I forgot the title) about an esoteric festival, but of course the place was not Glastonbury, but some fictitious village in Midsomer county. I had a feeling it was a parody on Glastonbury ;-)

Yes I expect you are right Edna :-) The writer of the series actually got the title idea from Somerset. He was driving through a small town called Midsomer Norton and he liked the name! My cousin lives there, but I think she is safe ;-))

I love sheeps ! And you captured them so well ! Thank you, Rosa !

Thank you for your very kind comment Ulrich.
Good evening.

Me gusta el encuadre porque en la foto entran ovejas, villa de Glastonbury y campiña. Cada uno en su sitio y respetando el lugar de otros, por lo que también me gusta su distribución. El vídeo de tu yerno muy bueno, el audio parecen cantos gregorianos. En el siguiente video, que entró solo y será de tu yerno, he visto “Dover Castle” que fue la primera imagen que vi de Inglaterra, entre brumas a la alborada cuando el crucero atracó en Dover. Saludos, Rosa

Thank you very much for your kind comments Jose Manuel. Usually sheep run away as soon as humans are near, but these were sat amongst the children on the Tor and were happy to share their space. I am pleased you liked the video. I will have to take a look at the Dover clip.
Best wishes and a good weekend.

Adorable mon amie Rosa *******************superbe !
bisous et bonne soirée ma Rosa !

Thank you my friend.
Bisous and wish you a good weekend my friend.

Baa, they certainly have a good view up there, was the stone for the construction cut from the hillside there appears to be what could be the site of quarrying , I hope you have a nice Friday Rosalyn Good night

Thank you Peter. It's not manmade. "The Tor lies on a fault line in the geology where a natural spring, the Chalice Well, brings minerals to the surface. The theory is that this spring hardened an area of rock which then resisted erosion. Over millions of years as the land around was eroded the Tor survived to give us the dramatic feature we see today." This taken from The Avalon Marshes website.
Have a nice day Peter.

hier zijn weer een paar schapen verscheurd door een wolf
ook een drachtige koe kreeg de hals door gebeten

That sounds very grim Fred....you have wolves??

I KNOW THAT CLIMB UP WELL !

AND I BET THE SHEEP DO IT EASIER THAN ME !!!!!!!!!!!

Better than me as well Pam :-)

Ils sont trop beaux c'est une belle photo belle journée Rosalyn.

Thank you for your kind words.
Have a good day Patrick.

Hi Rosa

Hi Peter,
No mention of mint sauce from me ;-)
I am pleased you like this shot and
wish you a good weekend.
Best regards, Rosa.

Who spotted whom first!! Great shot of the flock with the houses and trees forming a fine backdrop in this nice composition. A very impressive aerial tour of the Tor and surrounding countryside in the link Rosa.

Best wishes, Doug
