all the cows

There are a lot of animals that I can see from the train. A lot.

But what amazes me is they all look so big and healthy. Cows that look the way that they should, like they've been picked out of a book and placed next to the railway line for me to stare at in confusion as we hurtle past.

I've just seen a herd of horses that looked fantastically majestic. I've never seen such grace (outside of a cat of course). They were running, you could see their flanks glistening, with the toned muscles moving under the sleek skin. It was... strange to behold.

I wish I had my camera (or that I could be arsed to get up and get it out of my bag) but I think that a picture would rob the moment of some of it's poetry.
