No direction home
Last one home is Rogan Josh. Sheep trot back to their farm, near Aghagower, Co. Mayo. Photo taken June 26 2004.
The heavy rain of the last week has returned the mountain streams to near winter levels. This meandering stream was in full flood along the road between Maam Cross and Leenane and presented a bit of a challenge to the sheep trying to cross it.
One of them took the Bob Beamon approach whereas another one nearly drowned after it jumped into the deepest part of the stream. It hadn’t been sheared, so it’s woolly coat began to drag it down. It got across eventually.
