It seems to me that Henry Richardson has been a few interesting places with his camera. A great thanks from me for his willingness to take the time to show us interesting bits from his collection. He also seems to have an eye for the unexpected. The same thanks from me to all other contributors of images here.

Here is a photo of a little boy in a village on Pulau Yapen, an island a bit north of New Guinea in 1995 (scanned slide).

Here is one from the Isle of Skye ...  Feeding the ewes by Birm, on Flickr Less than two weeks until the lambs are born and a well earned top up feed for the hungry ewes. Someone seems to be on the wrong side of the fence! A700 with Tamron 11-18

This is a very nice shot. I like it a lot. They sure look like they can keep warm with those heavy coats on.

Thanks Henry  . It is a pretty amazing 'coat' these ladies are wearing, warm and waterproof. Unless you work with them you don't get to handle sheep as they are skittish to say the least. My mother-in-law hand-reared a few in this flock and they are more than friendly - they basically mug you in the hope you have some extra food on you  . Their fleeces feel pretty amazing when still "on the sheep" - quite oily (from the lanolin) - you can well imagine how they can survive out in all weathers. The ironic thing (I think) is that they were bred for their wool more than their meat, and now their fleeces are not worth the amount of money it takes to shear them.
