The horses of the Akhal-teke breed are famous for the golden shimmer of their coat. They are thoroughbreds (like English thoroughbreds and Arabians) and originate from Turkmenistan. The breed is thought to be over 2000 years old and is one of the very earlier horse breeds known.
this is the same image as “evening gold”, uploaded yesterday, but with a different background. It’s normally a massive job to remove backgrounds from horse portraits because of blending in the mane and whiskers. So, well, it’s an experiment. Feedback welcome!
Dun Troddan and Dun Telve. Both the Brochs are twin-walled circular structures with a single doorway; off to the side of the doorway is a short passage between the walls which may have housed a guard or watchdog. Once within the inner enclosure, there is also an inner entrance leading to other passages between the curtain walls, and parts of the stairways still survive which gave access to upper levels. / The Brochs stood around 10 metres high (and both approach this height today in places). There are remains of wooden post holes at various points in the structure, and it is thought that the inner circular courtyard may have been roofed, giving comfortable living accommodation during times of attack; much more pleasant that the passageways in the curtain walls. The fine state of repair of the Brochs, acheived despite a complete lack of mortar, is a testimony to the skill of their builders.
On special days, the Turkmen people dress their beloved Akhal-teke horses with celebratory neck bands. Gazan’s is red.

If I could offer one single piece of photography advice, it would be – “Take far more shots than you need. Make sure its ‘in the can’, instead of wishing you’d done things differently.” Looking back through my folders I found some ‘handy looking’ Infrared exposures I’d made of the cooling towers at Thorpe Marsh last summer… Lightly HDR’d to lose some of the flare and finished, without too much fuss, using a subtle blue tone.
This little filly is less than 24 hours old in this shot. She’s a tired baby. Taken with a Sony Alpha A-100 DSLR. /
