The Seven Day B&W 📷 Challenge - Day #4 - King of Cows

Moo-

His majestic amber amber fur wafts gently in the wind of the Perthshire hillside. A touch of pink around a golden haired snout is complimented by the delicate beiges and metallic horns that twist and turn like coiled snakes. A glorious navy blue sky only dotted by a bunch of friendly looking clouds in titanium white. Lush vegetation with every shade of green from emerald to peppermint provide a lovely backdrop rounded off by trodden on tones of brown of the earth itself.

Of course you can see none of this because it's all in black and white.

Hamish the Cow is a famous bovine (and quite the mighty beast) living close to Calandar in Scotland! We always drive past him when we visit our brother from another mother Thomas in Loch Earnhead (If the Zombie Apocalypse ever happens...that's where you'll find me.) which is one of my favorite places!

This is my fourth entrance into the #sevendaybnwchallenge. Let's see if we can get seven of these! I know I skipped a few days but ehhhh it's the thought that counts as long as I finish all 7? I hope? :D

Today's nominee is @jillustrations ! Let's see what you can come up with.

How can I not up vote Hamish?

He's the bees knees and so are you! Cheers :)

Love love love this shot! We have a local cow that is some kind of south american bovine with horns just like this. They are very very cool looking!

Indeed, such impressive beasts!
Thank you so much!

You're welcome :)

I really feel like this picture tells a story...if only the cows around me looked that majestic!

Aye! Behind us in the picture is a tacky souvenir shop and the tourist busses. This cow is like...legit famous it boggles the mind. He probably gets to meet more people than we ever will in our lifetime and only the hill faeries will know what the cow makes of all this nonsense :)

Such a majestic animal. Lots of presence there, the way he looks right at the camera. Great photo.

He's one calm and chilled dude...probably bored! He's got a pretty comfy gig out there but there must be a slight yearning for freedom in those eyes (covered by the glorious golden locks of course).

Thank you!

Yes, maybe he is bored. I hadn't thought of that. I wonder what I Highland Cow thinks about when yearning for freedom? Food for thought :)

Powerful Face

Yeah he's a got some stories to tell that one!

Let’s listen to his tales 🤣

Such a handsome one ^_^

I really really hope I never have to encounter one of those cows in the wild. They got a cute cuddly face and all but the HORNS!!!

To be avoided during mating season and when around young ones :P
Otherwise pretty docile and nice :D

Probably applies to all cattle .. hehe

Wow, he's one cool dude! Great shot
