In the goat tower

at Fairview wine and cheese estate. It was so hot when we went there, that some goats were seeking shade in the tower. It was so windy and some of the straw was flying around. The lines are shadows of the wooden stairway circling up the tower. I had to take this shot through the trees of the restaurant, hence the green leaves.

What an interesting composition! The goat looks like a wise, old sage.

[Wylie]

that's amazing, I felt sure it was going to be a composite!

[Babs]

Lovely shot, the goat looks like a wise old man .

[aikiuser (jenn)]

Great capture!

[Susan Wakely]

Great capture and a sense of the straw being blown about.

[Dione Giorgio]

A very cute shot indeed. The goat, which is very sharp, looks like a 'know it all' old person. And the straw floating on the air is quite impressive.

[John Falconer]

Great shot.

[Peter Dulis]

love it
...

[Steve Chappell]

Cool shot, kind of weird seeing the goat looking out the window, like he's (she?) waiting for his princess to turn him back into a human.

[Mags]

This is excellent!

[Anne ❀]

great comp and details, as always!

[Kate]

Nice focus on the goat

[KV]

Interesting details... love the squinting goat... guess s/he was trying to keep that flying straw out of the eyes.

[Pat]

Brilliant composition and such a great subject, fav.

[Chris Cook]

The goat looks like he’s posing for his formal portrait. Unique shot.

[Merrelyn]

Great shot Diana, certainly not something you would see everyday :)

[Sylvia]

Oh my Diana! @ludwigsdiana are they still there, I have a similar shot I took in 2013, we had a lovely lunch at this winery. You are bringing back wonderful memories.

Lovely shot and thank you for the explanation.

[Myrna O'Hara]

OK this just made me smile as I watched the "Sound Of Music" last night like I do every year and thought of the goat puppets in the movie..

[Santina]

great capture, I really like the goat, but especially the small pieces of straw that fly

[bruni]

The green gives the picture some depth. awesome to see the flying straw pieces.

[Carole Sandford]

Great capture of a goat!

[Pyrrhula]

A great shot and like the surprices of nature

[Islandgirl]

Wow nicely framed!

[Denise (lyndemc)]

At first glance it seemed the goat was a painting, but your commentary cleared that idea up. What a unique photograph of this goat in the brick archway. I like it very much.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Cool shot!

[katy]

That's a real goat!? FAbulous compoisiton for this photo!

[Shutterbug]

What an interesting photo. Love the way the goat is framed by the special window.

[Jane Pittenger]

I wonder re cropping out the leaf right bottom and making it into portrait orientation

[Rick]

Yeah, I sort of thought the goat was a painting also, but guess not. Great capture. Hope it gets cooled off.

[Diana]

@jgpittenger Thanks you Jane, I should have thought of that too. Just too much going on here, so I am a bit rushed when editing. It definitely would look better :-)

[sheri]

What a character.

[Nick]

Oh goodness, I can see it's a goat tower now. What a thing.

[Caroline]

Great framing, and a wonderful-looking goat.
