Moving the Wool
New Zealand.Look for the dogs! I am reminded of the patterns flocks of starlings make as they bunch and swirl to avoid a Cooper's Hawk.
I was watching this a few days ago and I was looking for the dogs. They were moving much faster than the sheep, and the tiny black specks which represented them would sometimes vanish and reappear. I think maybe the camera doesn't see them when they move faster than a certain rate of speed.

ReplyDeleteAnyway, great clip!
Just think--as easy as the dogs herd the sheep, they could do the same with children. Maybe we should have these herd dogs on all the playgrounds....
ReplyDeleteHow about in supermarkets?...
