Cowmotion

Cowmotion

It can be hard to stay calm and trust yourself when a flock of cows run towards you. Each weighing 500, up to 800 kilos. Golden rules are, too check your escape route, never walk trough a flock and look the leader, the alpha cow in the eyes. If you start to run you better run fast as they will start to run with you and can accidentally run you down.

Keep calm in muh muh land, ha de Gött!

No Name Skerry

This tiny little skerry has no name. Not even my father-in-law could come up with a local name. We pass it often with the boat but I have never landed there, making sure not to disturb the sea birds.

Beauty has no name, ha de Gött!
