Cutting through golden pastures beneath rolling Victorian hills, a working dog herds a group of black pigs with precise, athletic movement. The lean, muscular canine springs low across dry grass, navigating a wire fence line with intense focus and controlled energy. Dark hills dotted with scattered gum trees create a classic Australian rural backdrop, while a distant farm worker observes the livestock management operation. The black pigs, likely a commercial breed suited to free-range intensive farming, graze and move as a collective herd across the sun-drenched paddock. Al Mabin's photographic composition captures the dynamic interaction between skilled working dog and livestock, highlighting the precision and partnership essential to Australian agricultural practices. The scene embodies the rugged beauty of rural Victoria's agricultural landscape - a testament to the skill, hard work, and connection between human, animal, and terrain that defines farming in this region.
