The weather has been on and off for most of the day, alternating between sunny spells and grey cloud, so it was late in the day that I decide to go for a ride.
Packing a basic camera and short zoom lens I cross the entrance of Poole Harbour on the ferry and ride the Rempstone Trail for the first time in several months. It was as I reached the highest point of the old Fayles Tramway that two cows, mooing away at apparently nothing, interrupt my progress: time for some shots.
I'm constantly nonplussed at the wariness these animals show humans - considering their size and weight - and as I approach one of them immediately beats a hasty retreat to a more comfortable distance. The other, however, is somewhat less camera-shy, and allows me to get a number of close-up images. The wide angle lens gives the cow a more comical expression.
18-35 mm f/3.5-4.5 D Nikkor. 1/320 second at f/8. +0.67 EV. ISO 100.
