NORTHERN Ireland based journalist Chris McCullough has won an international photo competition in Germany.
He received the award for best photo in the IFAJ/DeLaval People’s Choice category at the annual gathering of the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists (IFAJ) which this year was in Bonn in Germany.
The photo of a cow high up in the Austrian Alps earned the journalist proved the most popular with voters online.
Speaking from Germany Chris said: “The photo was actually taken during a visit to Austria in September 2015 when I was reporting from a number of dairy farms who produced what is known as ‘hay milk.’
“This means the cows graze high up in the meadows for the summer period...while I was on the farm I decided to walk among the small herd of 17 cows which were grazing well above the ski lifts in their pastures. One of the cows presented me with a great opportunity to take its photo..."
