Alex Colville's
Stop for Cows, circa 1967, features a young woman in shorts and a sleeveless top ushering a herd of jersey cows along the road. Farmland stretches on either side. In the background is a string of mountains, likely the Appalachians of Nova Scotia. The cows are not in a hurry; it harkens back to a slower pace of life.
It reminds me of a scene from the movie
Leap Year in which Amy Adams character ushers a handful of cattle off the road in order that her and her chauffeur may continue on their journey to Dublin. All seems well with the world until Amy looks down at her designer shoe and discovers it's covered in manure.
