Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Goat Herder


A festival dedicated to finding the most beautiful Damascene goat drew goat breeders and livestock merchants to the Saudi capital Riyadh. The Mazayen al-Maaz - or 'Beautiful Traits of Goats' - festival saw the display of dozens of Damascene goats. Damascene goats with their distinctive protruding nose, have historically played a crucial role in traditional Arab nomadic lifestyle and economy.

To be honest, I had to look twice to recognize a goat in the picture above.

Is this some sort of Picasso Photoshop filter that was applied to the goat's head?
