Two of 14 millions, a photo from KwaZulu-Natal, East

Photographer's Note

According to information I found on the internet, there are 14 million cows in South Africa. We made a short stop on our travel in South Africa three years ago, between Dundee and Ladysmith, to have a look at these cowhides. Together with the beautiful cowhides, I was attracted to the colours of the clothespins. I will post two pictures in WS. One with a closer view and one with a wider view.

Hej Erling,
Detta дr en vдldigt originell bild. Kohudarna дr vackra och nдstan skimrar i det varma ljuset, men det дr дndе klдdnyporna som gцr stцrst intryck. Eller de дr еtminstone vдldigt fina komplement till hudarna genom sina starka och avvikande fдrger. Iakttagelsen av hudarna ledde till en ny iakttagelse som gjorde detta till en riktigt bra TE-bild.
Hдlsningar,
Gert

Hej Erling,
Et udmжrket billede med koskindene. Deres varme farver er meget attraktive i det klare lyse og alle de smе detaljer er meget tydelige. Meget godt set og fanget.

Hello Erling,
On thumbnail I was thinking they are partial capture of a cow but no, it was just a a skin of one of them.
Very good idea !
Perfect sharpness and usefull notes.
TFS and best regards

Hello Erling,
For sure you show us very beautiful cowhides here.
I wonder how a photo would look like that is taken completely by one of the cowhides.
When I see your photos, I mainly feel the contrast between the colourful artificial material of the clothespins and the warm natural colours of the skins of the animals.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Erling
I have no proof, but I'm confident you are the first ever to post a cow hide photo like this on TE haha. and why not right? I wonder how it looks from way back, to see how they look on the line and how it sits on the landscape. Is there a large farm of them??? of just one or two? I'm curious. Fun post, you caught our attention for sure. cheers

Hello, Erling!

The colorful clothespins really stand out beautifully in the image, and you captured the cowhide with very good light and texture! Wonderful composition! Very nice job!

A very interesting photo. A nice note as well. They look more fur like with nice white designs. You had a very interesting side trip in Eastern Africa. I have not traveled much in Africa, almost any daily life photo would be interesting to me. I like this.

May you be blessed these Christmas days.
