Yep he's definitely lining you up. Even 300 - 550kg would make a big dent in a car. ;-)

Hi thewndrr, Thanks for your message ! Just took my opportunity from the car with this one. These lovely creatures are domesticated but for sure you wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of them. I agree with you fully that you must give nature full respect. Love your spots too man !

Cool picture man, love that the last one to the right is preparing to defend it's flock. Man, being so close to wild animals bring it's own risks even though the pics are great, is it worth it?? In my opinion, yes! Definitely yes! Even though I never got a good pic to submit to PN I've had plenty of meetings with the wild and dangerous, and in my opinion, it's actually not so dangerous if you follow nature's rules :)
