Great pictures.  You have a really nice place.  Thank You for sharing.

Thanks guys. The Border father is from Australia, she is 9 and multiply agility champion. Not really a shepherd dog does not show too much interest to pastor them. The other one should be a truffle hunter in time, that one really likes to chase the sheep . Cows are not mine, but they are the local farmers cows  3-4 from one household. The gather in the morning and free graze , walking at least 5-10 miles a day, going back home for milking. The old school stuff.
Its morning here, I am going to get my latte, but its different, I can tell you....

You know, Peter, the only way you will recognize Heaven is the improved weather.  

pkoszegi what country do you Live in...it's beautiful and so is your hanger.

You are having fun.... ! I am trying to nail my latest video together, its blown twice while editing.

Looks like pretty good deer country to me Harless.

There are deer and turkeys on the runway regular.. They got a permit and killed a lot of does but there are still some there..

Well thats very Green there Harless...and certainly I was counting those big trees.....I fly from a flat desolate area....with much smaller trees...and Kangaroos, wombats and Emu replace your Deer and Turkeys....what part of the planet is this Harless..? Its very pretty.

My photos are Truro Flats Airpark, home of the Barossa Birdmen flying club...animal photos are taken at a mates property approx 5 Nm from my airfeild...they are wild animals.

Arthur, I live in Wise County Virginia at an elevation of 2200 MSL. The airport is 2680 MSL and the highest is 4620 MSL..A lot of National Forest.

Ok Thanks certainly alot of history there.....I googled it....

we are only 220 ft MSL....but it can get very hot in summer

regards Arthur

Arthur, I went dyslexic on the highest elevation, its 4260 MSL

Very nice Harless on your last approach and final i can see what i think are deer running through the grass, where i live it's coyotes on the runway  

Here is the video I promised to you.
Finally I got it done:

That was a cool video. Thanks for the post.

I live just a little north of Harless, in West Virginia.  I heard once there were moonshiners on our runway, well, at least that's what the DPE yelled out to the guy taking his checkride when he wanted see the soon-to-be pilot do a go-around
