Sheep??

Internet has been iffy for a while, so these will be some random comments as I think of them.

We are sailing up the Main river.  It has locks.  MANY locks,  From the Rhine to the Rhine/Main/Danube canal, there are 34 locks.  So we're getting quite acquainted with them.

A few are just metal and concrete, as I would have expected.  Most have narrow strips of land separating them from the rest of the Main, which mostly has small dams.  These strips typically have grass, and sometimes bushes, and even occasionally decent size trees.  So okay, they've been there a while and they have acquired some plant life.  Occasionally there are ducks.  Nice.

Noticing this did not prepare me for sheep!  Three or four of them cheerfully grazing, or just relaxing, along the lock.  Right.
