Peaceful scene
Title:  Peaceful scene
Description:  I find a pasture of cows to be somehow quite tranquil-til a noisy train shows up!! I was far enough off that it wasnt quite so loud for me, but the cattle dont seem to be upset by the intrusion. Southbound grain DPU passes a field north of Westville.
