Mountain Sheep

Travelling through the mountain roads and highways requires diligent alertness at all times, as all types of animals can appear on the travelled portion at any time and without warning. In this case as we rounded one of the many curves, we came upon a herd of mountain sheep.

Yes these animals tend to linger some that's for sure, however, they usually take the hint on the tap of a horn. Night driving on this particular road can be somewhat daunting though, as they, mountain sheep, deer , etc. can jump out in front of the headlights. Alertness is the order of the day.
