Texel is a traditional sheep farming island: the sheep population is nearly as large as the human population of 14,000. These photo's were made during a hike where we crossed the island on foot from east to west. Here the path follows a grass dike which is also 'used' by the sheep.
The sheep are bred on small scale sheep farms in the gently rolling ‘old land' of Texel. Even though they must be used to people passing them (I think), they were cautious and kept their distance.
What a beautiful place. These sheeps look gently....Fantastic pictures :)

Wonderful pictures. And very exotic, because sheep are a little foreign to me.
