Look Over There

The weather’s not promising but you head out anyway, camera slung over your shoulder. Thinking you might see something.

Secretly you’re hoping that the skies will clear so that when you find those horses their milky coats will float in the frame of your viewfinder like clouds in a summer sky.

But then you happen on the horses you see that perfect blue wouldn’t work at all.

What does:

a strip of mist clinging to the hills

a criss-cross of metal fence

a stripe of dry stone wall

Sandwiched within are the two beasts, approaching obliquely so that you can capture sinew and muscle and bone. The whole frame is a slant-wise gaze that shows so much more than blue sunny skies and close-up horsefaces could ever do.
