This was taken after a walk (with a few breathers!) to the top of Wildhorse Mountain. The lookout itself is used to identify the locations of fires, in the forestry below.
An array of wildhorses fleeting across the meadow.
The claustrophobic confines of Wildhorse Canyon in Utah. At this point the canyon was maybe 2 feet wide at shoulder height and 8 inches wide at your feet.
A gorgeous paint/pinto wild stallion follows his band through a snowy, moonlit night somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. This was the first moonlight painting (nocturne) I’ve done and was juried into the Oil Painters of America annual national exhibition in 2006. The original oil is 24×36 and is available at Legacy Gallery in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
High atop a hill overlooking the Columbia River, near Vantage, Washington is a lifesize sculptors’ dream come true…Wild Horses made of metal, running free and created by David Grovedare in 1989. / This photograph was taken a couple of miles away and I tweeked it a little in photoshop for the cloud effects, it is quite the sight to behold.
My dear friend Lucindawind wrote an amazing plea today abot the plight of US Wild Horses, and the proposed euthanizing of thousands of these amazing creatures. / This creation is in response to her plea, in support, as I have been writing, fighting and crying over this issue for years… / Here’s some more info about the attempts to Save the Wild Horses / SpiritRidersFoundation a Native American Organization Sheryl Crow music /
This is a close encounter with Laramie who has a band of wild horses in the Little Bookcliffs wild horse area near Grand Junction, Colorado. He is a powerful magnificent animal who is very confident in himself. We saw him earlier stalk a cowboy and his dog from across the arroyo. This image is included in my 2009 wildlife calendar

Two Przhevalsky horses play with each other in the Highland Wildlife park. The following description is taken from their website: Discovered and identified in the 1880’s by the Russian explorer, Nicolai Przhevalsky, these are the only true living wild horses. The last authenticated wild sighting was in 1969 and they thereafter were believed to have become extinct in the wild. All the animals alive today are direct descendants of the small population, which had been taken into zoos throughout the world at the start of the century. By 1945 there were only 3 stallions, 9 mares and one wild mare left. In order to prevent further inbreeding, carefully monitored exchanges were encouraged between zoos and the population is now in the hundreds. They are strikingly similar to the horses depicted in European neolithic cave paintings. Fossil evidence in Scotland indicates that wild horses survived here up to 3000 years ago but after the last Ice Age, the horses’ range became smaller and smaller until its last wild population was in Mongolia. The Przewalski is presently being reintroduced to two main sites in Mongolia and they have re-established themselves well.Przewalski’s horses differ from domestic horses in a number of ways. Their skull is heavier and they have a thicker jaw as well as an upright black mane and no forelock. They are stocky with relatively short legs and a yellowish brown coat with black lower legs and a black tail. Their coat grows very thick and woolly in winter. http://www.highlandwildlifepark.org/przewalski_horse.htm Nikon D80 / ISO 100 / 70-300mm lens at 210mm / 1/250 sec at f5 / curves adjustment in photoshop
I’ve always admired the colours that are thrown up into the sky after a spectacular sunset. The colours are highly visible when clouds are around but in this case a smoky atmosphere from a couple of nearby fires was assisting this brilliant display of colour. The fading light was just enough to crisply define the silhouettes of the trees in the foreground beautifully while in the background the outlines of the Glasshouse Mountains are subtly exposed by a brilliant band of orange twilight. / This shot is taken at Wildhorse Mountain on a clear winter’s day just after sunset at the Glasshouse Mountains just inland from Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast. I love its composition of colour bandings and the random placement of the trees in the framing of the shot as well as the subtlety of the mountains
It’s magnificent to watch the sun drop over the Glasshouse Mountains. The thing I love most about this shot is the layering of the foreground to background. It starts with white wildflowers in the foreground, a layer of green foliage blending into silver foliage and then jumps to a dark green thick pine plantation grid leading off into the blue hues of the Glasshouse Mountain Range. The rich layers of light and texture really complement the rays of the sunset dancing all over the image.
About One missed wedding but a new adventure. Whilst still bummed about missing Kane’s Wedding, I headed with Josh, Dave and Garry for an adventure to the Buderim Falls – then to Maroochydore to check out the surf, and then last stop at Wildhorse Mountain Lookout. A little steep of a climb for someone who is a little unfit like me – but very doable and worth the visit. This gentleman appeared during the blue hour and stood still for Garry and I for a few seconds. - ISO 100, f4, 3.2, 10mm / - Sigma 10-20mm / - Canon 400D / - Tripod Processing 1) Import into Lightroom as RAW / a) Curves / b) Clarity / c) Recovery / d) Soft light layer in Photoshop (13%) / e) Grad filter to bring out the sky a little more / 2) Export using Flickr Uploader and LR2/Mogrify plugin
