Don't all sheep shearers armpits smell of fresh orchids? That must be the linking factor in this set!

Thanks Don, the shot was taken at Baldivis markets yesterday. Seems to be a fixed calendar event as all of the larger markets are on the first Saturday of the month.

You sussed it!

The orchids were snapped at Kalamunda markets a few hours after the sheep lost weight.

The flowers are OK, but it's the shearer with the rim-light which is most impressive.
Best wishes,

Andrew
