Bringing the Farm into Town

I posted a picture that looks almost exactly like this one last month.  If you shifted just a couple of degrees to the South, it might actually be the same picture.  In fact, I may have even been standing in roughly the same spot on Peace Bridge when I took the other picture.  What I was trying to capture here (and what I think I failed to capture) was the fact that someone had brought their cows to graze in this big open space (yep, those specks that you can just barely make out are cattle).  Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me and I can't zoom with my iPhone, so this was the best I could do.  Another time, I saw some cattle grazing on a very small triangular patch of grass that was in between the two lanes of the highway, but that time, I didn't even have my iPhone with me.  The only other place I've ever seen farm animals roam freely around a town was in a very small and remote village on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia.
