Is it going to say something? It really looks like the horse has a story to tell.

Carver said...

That's great. I love the way you can see the tension in the face muscles.

thyme said...

Amazing colour, the copper green.

Good angle to show this statue. (Previous) : Great one about creativity!

They don't make sculptures like this anymore and that is a shame.

It does look like he's saying something. I bet he'd have some good stories to tell.

tigerfish said...

The horse expression is weird! He looks shocked! Maybe he was caught candid camera!

Napaboaniya said...

From the angle it looks like the statue of the horse was displayed on a high platform. Nice shot..

PJ said...

Hi Sandy!
Thanks for stopping by. I love your blog. I hope to come back and see more.

Deborah Godin said...

Wonderful expression, and love the patina! I agree with "Abe" - modern 'public' sculpture is fine, but you just can't beat a statue with a horse, especially in a park!

Emzkie said...

hmm.. very interesting. it must be very old sculpture.

Jeanne said...

great shot!

ces said...

very nice angle...lovely shot!

Denise said...

Fantastic! He is a magnificent horse and this is a great photo. Horses are such noble animals in life and as in this form, a wonderful statue.

Titania said...

True craftmanship. A great picture.

julie said...

Kero said...

PERBS said...

Interesting. First thing I thought of when I saw the green copper was "just like the statue of liberty!"

Kathiesbirds said...

All I can say is I love this photo. You shot it at the perfect angle. The horse looks like it is about to shed it's metal shell and come to life!

The Tile Lady said...

This is stunning! You almost feel the breath of the horse, and can hear it make snorting sounds. The colors are lovely.
