  • A graphic posted on Facebook shows an aerial photo of a huge herd of sheep moving through a gate, pressed in a single straight line on either side. A herd of sheep is leaving the stall, the text reads. There is no fence, only the gate ... It adds: The trap of thinking. Does the photo really show sheep unthinkingly following other sheep through a gate where there is no fence? The bigger picture Africa Check cropped the photo out of the graphic and uploaded it to TinEye ’s reverse image search . This led us to the website of Australian photographer Scott Bridle . A much larger version of the photo is in Bridle’s archives, simply described as Brenda Station. It was snapped in 2012 . A fence and fence poles are clearly visible in the larger photo . The sheep could only move through the gate. The photo appeared on the cover of the October-November 2012 edition of Australia’s Outback magazine, and can be seen on Bridle’s Facebook page with the description: BHP Billiton Cannington Waltzing Matilda Photographic Prize 3rd Prize – ‘Brenda Station’. – Africa Check (en)
