Wild

It was a wild day as we say in Ireland. Stormy with heavy showers. These
horses look wild too as they galloped towards me, but in reality they were
quite friendly and just wanted some company.
It was a day for staying indoors. A day for reading, for drinking coffee before
venturing out for a few pics and some shopping.

I like all in this photo, the general feeling of wildness, which is echoed in the posture of horses and in the tree bending under the wind. The picture is not gloomy at all, in spite of the grey sky, it’s full of life and quite beautiful!

A painted Shire seems very unusual. What a lovely capture.

Strong and pretty!

Great mouvement in this photo! They don't look to be bothered by the weather...lucky creatures.

Laryl		26-Oct-2009 16:52

Yvonne		26-Oct-2009 11:24
Wonderful capture, were they frisky because of the wind? v

Maaike Huizer		26-Oct-2009 09:25
They are heaving fun for sure. Very nice catch.

Bernard Davis		26-Oct-2009 09:18
A great, atmospheric shot, at first I just thought it was the trees in the wind, until I scrolled down and saw the beautiful horses. You really captured the mome with this. Voted.

borisalex		26-Oct-2009 06:34
You captured that mood so wonderfully!

Great pastoral scene, are these Gypsy horses? Looks like they are having fun...my Arab envies them for getting to be on grass. (No grass year round in my area...and no irrigated pastures in my area...got to drive an hour)

Beautiful catch of these beautiful horses!

Linda Willets		26-Oct-2009 00:32
Excellent

Timothy Guenther		25-Oct-2009 23:56
Very cool shot!

Doug Cruden		25-Oct-2009 22:53
Big gentle giants...they'd probably do anything for a carrot or sugarcube :o) Lovely wild capture Mairead

Al Chesworth		25-Oct-2009 19:39
Very sociable creatures, a great rapport can be gained with a carrot or mint.

LynnH		25-Oct-2009 13:41
Beautiful wildness here. Love the dark sky, although I am glad I live in sunny Texas. Very lovely shot, Mairead!!!

The tree leaning slightly to the right makes it look very windy. It was brave of you to venture out!

laine		25-Oct-2009 10:20
They aren't bothered by the weather...love the mane on the white one.

Phillip Normanton		25-Oct-2009 09:27
That one on the left needs to get a haircut! They're not racehorses, are they! :o)

globalgadabout		25-Oct-2009 06:52
a striking scene..these sturdy horse seem charged up by the conditions...and you rose well to the occasion yourself..V

Bill Ewart Jr		25-Oct-2009 01:52
I don't remember seeing horses like that around here!!! Very beautiful creatures!!!!

lou_rozensteins		24-Oct-2009 23:40
Nice to see these big horses still around. The weather must have been inspiring them. Well done.

Nora van Beek		24-Oct-2009 22:00
They don't seem to mind the weather at all. I love the playful mood here. Great capture! ~V~

Valene		24-Oct-2009 21:43
Great mood photo with the stormy day and frisky horses. They look quite different than most horses where I live. V

Stewart Mitchell		24-Oct-2009 21:32
