The Shepherd's Stronghold

 The Shepherd's Stronghold is a cool place for pictures and relaxing and yes you will find sheep here.

You have to use a lift that takes you down the mountain, which is a nice feature here. I also liked the scenery, it makes you feel like you are in the mountains. (Reminded me a bit of Germany).

I enjoyed myself here and it is not so populated with tourists (aka avatars).

Little Lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee,
Gave thee life, and bade thee feed
By the stream and o'er the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight
Softest clothing, woolly, bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales rejoice?
Little Lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee? (William Blake)

Don't wear high heels in a place like this, I was worn out quick. Don't forget to watch the Perseid meteor shower tonight. It should be a spectacular show.

Predicted peak: is predicted** for August 13, 2023, at 7:58 UTC.
When to watch: The moon will be a waning crescent and 10% illuminated during 2023’s peak of the Perseid meteor shower. This shower rises to a peak gradually, then falls off rapidly. And Perseid meteors tend to strengthen in number as late night deepens into the wee hours of the morning. The shower is often best before dawn. In 2023, the moon will be in the morning sky from early to mid-August but growing fainter each day before the peak.
