Goat Sense




It was raining, and I took this from a car.  Sad, it came out blurred.  We were in a a township right behind a school I visited in Durban, South Africa.  There was a chatter of young school children returning home, but other than that there was no sign that there was a bustling city outside of this shanty  town.  There was no organization, houses were dilapidated, there were one room child care centers, tuck shops made out of tin sheets. And in the middle of all, where nothing made sense, there was this Goat, using its 'sense' to protect itself from the rain.

To me that sense brought a flash of order to this place.  Death, survival, life, struggle, and chatter of children in the background.....just like life...Durban, South Africa, August, 2012.
