Have you seen those commercials about the happy California cows? Well, I guess not all cows in California have pasture to roam around. These cows are located in Southern California. Now I’m not an animal advocate, but these cows could use a little pasture. It does appear that they had room to move around. The cows put their heads through the metal bars to eat the hay. A housing community went up across the street, so I doubt there is much room for this farm to expand here. I imagine the farmer will eventually have to close up shop and move their operation elsewhere. They were a little skittish when I came up to them with the camera. I mounted the camera on a tripod and I bracketed three frames. One photo was 2 stops underexposed, another right on target, and the last photo was 2 stops overexposed. I then did a little HDR and I was good to go.
In India cows are considered sacred. When you think about cows they give humanity so very much to be thankful for; wonderful dairy products, meat, leather goods, every part of the cow is used here in America. Think of the ultimate sacrifice that cattle provide for our use. We as humans should treat them far more humanely and with some respect. Cows are only one of the many ways that God the Provider cares for us. Be thankful for All that God provides everyday.
