Sheepish Behavior!

Hi - whilst travelling through some Dutch country-side yesterday, I noticed the sheep in the forefront offering a rather unusual pose!
Couldn't figure out if her fellow sheep cracked a joke or if trying to catch a tan...

Soon after the shot, it did get back on it's feet.

Equipment: Nikon D300 + Nikkor 18~200VR lens @170mm. Aperture f/8, shutter speed 1/250, ISO 200.

Cheers - Herman

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    XD I have noticed that farm animals in Holland behave funny, the other day I saw a rooster exactly the same way, with its two feet on the air, I thought it was dead but as I was getting closer it just stood up!!!!!!! I can tell you they don't do that in mexico, must be something in the water....
