The shepherd keeps his flock

Sheep counting before falling asleep

On the slope of the hill the sheep graze. They pull tightly against each other across the grass. In the foreground a lamb pushes to his mother. The good shepherd guard his flock; He is leaning on his staff. His hat and his cloak protect him in the rain. The shepherd's home is parked in the background. Before he falls asleep and dreams, he counts every single sheep.

Even over the pale blue skies, fine shepherd clouds accompany the flock and their guardian.
