I took these pictures last month during Newtowns Market Day, which is like a fair without the rides. It had people in 18th century costumes playing music and doing and selling crafts. There was lots of fair type food too. This guy was giving rides on his wagon.
Love especially the top shot's angle. That sure is one patriotic shirt.
ReplyDeleteBeau gros plan sur le cheval ;o) attention il va manger ton APN ;o)
ReplyDeleteThe horse was very interested i, I suppose, your camera! Fine 'portrait' and composition, with the man's shirt in background.
ReplyDeleteThe second shot is a bit sad, but the brickwork behind fires it up.
The horse photograph is wonderful (hell, they both are). But I can almost feel that horse's breath on my face as I look at it.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures James
ReplyDeleteI was instantly taken back to my childhood by your Mr Ed referance.. ha!
A horse is a horse, of course of course,
and no one can talk to a horse of course,
that is of course, unless the horse,
Is the famous Mister Ed!
A horse is a horse however it goes LOL. Great photos my friend TBK
ReplyDeleteI have just had a Pavlov's Dog reaction: as soon as my eyes saw "Mr Ed" that song started up in my head! Drats, too much time in front of the tele in the late 50s ...
ReplyDeleteGreat character shots, both. I think I preferred the shot of the horse before the Mr. Ed song started going off in my head (via a previous commentator). He's quite a colorful guy, that horse.
ReplyDeleteThe man has such a grimace on his face; I wonder what he is thinking. Love the architecture behind.
Great shot of the horse. But alas, I too now have the Mr. Ed theme song stuck in my head. They just don't write TV theme songs like they used to! Kathy
ReplyDeleteI feel like I should hold a carrot up to my monitor...what a terrific horse picture! Both of them are excellent.
ReplyDeleteYou were right about great minds, funny how that happened!
Sunny :)
Wiiillllllllllllbbeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrr!! lol Great photo.
ReplyDeleteFabulous photos. I love horses and old cowboys.
ReplyDeleteNo mist on your lenses? :-)
ReplyDeleteMr. Ed looks like he is trying to get a taste of your camera!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos... good thing the horse didn't lick the lens!
ReplyDelete(PS Tell Lucy I am not ignoring her, I just seem to be doing most of my blogging on the laptop this week, and I still can't leave comments on her blog.... yours is okay now)
That horse must have a real personality - well caught!
