Dusk was approaching as I was setting up my tent after spending a day with the wild mustangs in the Pryor Mountains of Montana. The chill down the back of my neck was partially due to the cooling mountain air, and partially due to the feeling of being watched. As I was thinking about a beautiful white stallion that had taken his harem and run off, I suddenly heard a mustangs’ scream and the stomping of hooves. I whirled around, but nothing was there. Or was there?

From my collection: / Emerquinox / Spirit of Alaska ~ Alaska North Star Winter Scenics Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Emerquinox is a word I coined when I combined the words Emerge and Equinox The Great White North I took this photo in deep winter 20 January 2008 midway between Fairbanks and North Pole Alaska. In summer this area is a peat bog. It is actually quite deep as in late Autumn I have watched a cow Moose submerge herself and swim in the pond at sunset. Near the Chena River, in winter it is used as a ‘highway’ for mushers and their dogsleds and also for snowmachines. I removed the natural blue hue with a white balance adjustment. Then I desaturated selective colours pulling down the yellow, magenta, and green. With a slight adjustment on contrast, I then used the lasso tool and selected only the sky to remove the digital noise as I had my ISO setting too high at 400 and, along with the cold, this created too much noise with the original photograph. The temperature on this day had actually warmed to about 10F. Within a week it plunged again to appx minus -47F. Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi / Shooting Date/Time 20 January 2008 16:41:50 / Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/125 / Av( Aperture Value ) 5.6 “Permafrost, perennially frozen ground that maintains a temperature at or below the freezing point for at least two years. Vast tracts of permafrost lie across Alaska, Canada, northern Europe and Asia, and Antarctica. About 80 percent of Alaska’s land area contains permafrost. In the Interior region, vegetation must adapt itself to short, warm summers and long, cold winters. Trees grow slowly, and their root systems must be shallow because they cannot penetrate the permafrost. In Alaska, permafrost occurs as a continuous sheet north of the Brooks Range, extending from a few inches below the surface down to as deep as 1,000 feet. As one goes south, however, it gets progressively thinner, the melted layer on top gets thicker, and holes or gaps begin to appear in it. Permafrost may extend to depths of more than 500 m (1,600 ft). Clues to the age of the permafrost of the Northern Hemisphere lie in the numerous discoveries of mammoth remains embedded in frozen ground. Mammoths became extinct about 10,000 to 15,000 years ago, coincident with the end of the most recent ice age. Some scientists, however, think that much of today’s permafrost may have formed as long as 120,000 years ago.” Source: Wikipedia “As with all great journeys, the vision is the beginning / Dreams of all the possibilities, / of the many paths widening to the future / Of all the great and extraordinary things our mind can imagine / The persistence of our own opportunistic souls reaching for what is yet unabridged / An unconscious decision to struggle forward yet again / And without even knowing of our focus / We start forward / All of our past, our teachings, our experience are brought into play / The trials of our past giving us the tools that we need to find our way / Our way to fulfilling this newest quest for our dream / No obstacle too great, / no argument rebuff / The journey begun, we will not allow defeat / We can only see the unfolding, as it will be / And as always, / the goal is reached / And there, / sated in the peace of our newly added thread in the web of our life / We rest / And the vision comes again” / ~ by Steve ‘Easy’ Whitacre 2005

2009 Abstract Acrylic on 140 lb. Watercolour paper 24×30” / from….. / Memories of My Grandmother Series…......When I was a very small boy in Texas, we lived maybe a quarter of a mile from the “Monte” (the Woods) I would go with my grandmama, to the monte to pick wild cherries and flowers, my Grandmother loved flowers, and Roses were her favorite, Funny how I still remember that after all these years. She has been gone now for 30 years this September but I still remember her and going to pick flowers and wild cherries in “The Monte” like it was yesterday, and it makes me cry…....She was the sweetest, kindest, most generous, loving / soul that I has ever encountered, in all my travels through time and space, and I know she is still with me, and still looks after me. / One bright sunny day in the monte I saw these beautiful, (even as a child I couId recognize beauty, I guess I have always been an artist), didn’t know what kind of flowers they were, and I called my grandmama, and was about to pick them, when my grandmama, said No, don’t pick them….for they were “Wild Roses” supposely rare. She said they were free spirits that grew in the wild, and someday mi hijo, (my son) I will be like them. Still makes me cry…...
Several months ago I was commissioned to do another cover for Conscious Living magazine here in Australia. The theme was to focus on “wild” and in particular….HORSES! / My first thoughts turned to a good friend and talented photographer here on Redbubble – Gene Praag who regularly captures amazing images of the wild horses in his home state of Utah. / And so I asked this fellow bubbler would he be able to help me with REAL wild horse images to work with, as opposed to me taking shots of local domestic horses and pretending they were “wild”. / From this collaboration I generated several pieces of art, and had loads of fun, and I have to say, both Gene and I were surprised at the magazine’s final choice of one of the less artistic images for their cover this issue….. (and yes, before anyone comments, I reckon Equus is spelled differently…lol) so I decided to share with you, one of the other images created from our joint efforts. SO thank you most sincerely to Gene for his generosity and kindness and for being so helpful in this project…... if you haven’t already done so, please take a moment to check out his amazing portfolio of images featuring the wild horses of the USA captured in their natural habitat, and being …... wild and free….. along with many other beautiful landscapes and subjects….. Thanks so very much Geno! You are a legend!
