Photographer's Note
As it’s Chinese New Year today I’ve dug into my archives and have come up this picture which seemed appropriate.
For those who are born in the year of the ox, here’s what Wikipedia says about you:
The Ox is the sign of properity through fortitude and hard work. This powerful sign is a born leader, being quite dependable and possessing an innate ability to achieve great things. As one might guess, such people are dependable, calm, and modest. Like their animal namesake, the Ox is unswervingly patient, tireless in their work, and capable of enduring any amount of hardship without complaint.
Ox people need peace and quiet to work through their ideas, and when they have set their mind on something it is hard for them to be convinced otherwise. An Ox person has a very logical mind and is extremely systematic in whatever they do, though they have a tremendous imagination and an unparalleled appreciation for beauty. These people speak little but are extremely intelligent. When necessary, they are articulate and eloquent.
People born under the influence of the Ox are kind, caring souls, logical, positive, filled with common sense and with their feet firmly planted on the ground. Security is their main preoccupation in life, and they are prepared to toil long and hard in order to provide a warm, comfortable and stable nest for themselves and their families. Strong-minded, stubborn, individualistic, the majority are highly intelligent individuals who don't take kindly to being told what to do.
Whatever animal you are, I wish you all the best for the coming year of the Ox!

Hi Susanna
Ha ha, yes this is appropriate. I'm wondering if you are an OX (or an Ox disguised as a camel).
Good timing as they are well placed as is the farmer. Nice neutral background too.
Regards
