The goat power (Photoreport)

（日本語の記事。）

The other day a friend of mine visited us and camped at the power plant. The orange triangle in the back of the picture is my friend's  tepee. What a fine tepee it was.

It's been a few years since we met last time, so we decided to have a barbecue to celebrate the reunion.

But the highlight of our barbecue was not the reunion nor the food nor our chickens. The highlight was the goats. All friends who gathered that evening were captivated by two charming goats grazing at the power plant.

Imagine a scene:  Group of adults frolicking around absorbed in playing with goats on a walk. That's what it looked like and it certainly was an impressive sight.

There's just one requirement for a person wanting to walk a goat: Being able to run.

Next morning, goats came to the power plant again.

The world hasn't noticed yet, but goats are at least as adorable animals as dogs or cats. With their goofy but cute smiles, permanently carved into their faces, they can be irresistible. On this occasion the goat power was fully unleashed, again. (Goats didn't give a damn, though.)
