Prisoners of the White Mountains  - 16th December 2006

This photo is not current (there is snow up there right now) but was taken in October, just before I went away to Nepal. I've just run out of good current stuff so I thought that this was a nice "old one" to use.

I was coming back from a walk to Katsiveli with Christopher Somerville (who wrote a nice article about it in the Telegraph - even though he got my name wrong. Christopher's French is correct but my name still has no E at the end, go ask my ancestors why!) when we met these rather pissed off sheep who had been cooped up within a small circle of metal fencing.
In the printed article of the Telegraph the caption to this picture reads "Ewes awaiting milking" but I believe that they were awaiting a far more unpleasant fate.
