The weather didn't want to help me with this challenge. Plan "b" was to try some humour with this one. Given the title you'd expect it would be easy to find a sheep but when you go looking for one they are all of a sudden hard to find! The ones I could find has been shorn recently so they looked manky. I found some and managed to get this guy to look at me so now he's famous. I wanted a woolier and cleaner sheep but you've gotta take what you can get. The others in the house did find it amusing when I said I was going out to find an "attractive sheep" :)

Post Challenge: To answer some of the commenters, no the statistic isn't quite true. A few years back (in the late 80's or early 90's) it was but the sheep population in NZ has been dropping so "4 million people, 40 million sheep" would be more accurate.

the photograph is good and the info on the people and the sheep very helpfull. as my personal opinion I would prefer a landscape because for me is a land where I can't go every day :)
