This is so extraordinary, you sure have a gift for finding what’s important. The color and mood are ethereal, you still feel as if it’s there enough to walk into.
I don’t know if this is 100 % natural, or superimposed, nevertheless.. it’s breathtaking. I am not big on horses (well, I love them, petting them feeding them, etc.) but not “horse art”..you know..so that’s really saying something for me to be grabbed by this so much. ;)
Thanks so much, Spice! These are my horses in my own pasture. There is a slight valley beyond where the horses are standing which holds on to fog until noon sometimes. Which is lucky for me because I can get these shots when the sun is higher in the sky. It’s like Mother Nature adding a bit in flash filter:-)
Thanks to all and I intended to write built not bit above:)...sorry about that, it was the wee hours of the morning and the dogs woke me…so what else to do but cruise around the bubble a bit?
This really is the most perfect shot. I always think it is amazing to see how beautiful nature can be… and how calming it so often is even when there is so much darkness and hatred around, and yet, as you’ve so wonderfully captured, the calmness of nature is always around for us to see.
I’ve been brought up around horses… however, sadly, i’m not a very horsey person (probably because i was always forced to muck out rather then being allowed to enjoy their company – tho i must admit i quite enjoyed mucking out!) but i cannot deny how magnificent these animals are. Bold, loyal and always loving to their masters… This picture portrays their gentle side and i love the pinkness in the air and water.
