Description
Many of you will know the sheep shot which I submitted yesterday [[link] The sheep with its two beautiful lambs in their perfect resting pose stayed on a beautiful little piece of meadow which I do not want to hide from you either. Taken at Oud Loosdrecht in The Netherlands.Related content

this is so cool together with the close-up shot !! It puts the sheep we already "know" in a context ! Another one of your deviationsthat makes me smile

Totally beautiful. How serene it is. With the cows having such tranquility tis no wonder Holland is renowned for cheeses. Contented cows. Well done

I think "Secret Meadow" is a great title for this shot! It looks so far removed from civilization...no roads or sign of man anywhere. No wonder the sheep are so content....they are hoping the meadow remains a secret.

Very nicely put! Indeed no one gets there but the sheep. But I was standing on the central road of the village, looking over that meadow. So civilization was VERY near, I am afraid. You cannot have it all in an over-crowded country like the Netherlands.

And hidden between the houses. So you really have to look for it from the street. Fortunately you can cut so much away from the scene by cropping or enlarging. Otherwise most of my landscape shots would not appear so idyllic as they do now.

Beautiful shot....
I would so dearly love just to sit under those trees on the island/peninsula and read....
Let the world just get on with its own business around me...
A cracking photograph, Thank you for not keeping this little meadow a secret

Coldness holds no power over me...
I am more then used to standing or sitting very still for hours on a cold frosty morning/day or evening on account of my Birdwatching
