I love that one, of the people playing on the beach.

I haven't been to the City yet to try what i have in mind, in the meantime

I had a nice little bike ride up in North Yorkshire yesterday. Stopped for a quick bite to eat and grabbed this snap of the sweet little trail winding away into the distance.

Big Horse!*

If its Dartmoor, more likely to be a pony...

Looks a bit emaciated.

I feel priviledged to say this is home.

Even bigger horse*, in a wide open space. Somewhere in Iceland.

Ahh those Icelandic ponies are pretty legendary. They have a blood import ban in Iceland so no animals can be imported and thus the gene pool is largely uncorrupted. Tim Flach did an amazing set of images of them in his book 'Equus'.



See about 30s in:



And you'll find a bunch more of the images on here: http://www.icheval-savoir.com/1197-port ... -tim-flach

He's a really nice guy. Did a talk for us at the RPS a couple of months back. I got his book 'More than Human' for xmas, and bought the others since meeting him.

In fact, he's such an interesting guy, I'll make another thread to post some links & stuff..

Here's one from Saturday. The reality wasn't quite as bleak as the photo. Nearly, but not quite

Open Space in the City

The Plaza i had planned for wasn't exactly very open, there is a bunch of stuff there, so i settled for the Commerce Plaza
