Oh, I knew you were just joking, but the picture was so good I had to send it. It looks just the way I remember the cork being harvested (if that's the word) in Portugal.

Many contrasts in that country. You could be standing behind a new factory complex and a goat herd, with goats, would pass across the rough ground at the back - goat bells jingling and all. More like the eastern Mediterranean than western Europe in some ways.
