The story behind the image

We took a full day to explore the Isle of Skye in 2005 and we encountered sheep, many sheep. They seemed to be omni-present: on the roads, in the villages, in graveyards. Here, we discovered two of them resting next to the road. They were pretty close and did not mind our presence.

A simple image, yet so peaceful.
