Street horse by orangecrush

Street horse

Still filling open spaces in my project left from my absence caused by vacation.
Our third day was a shopping day. Not one of my favorite things to do but since I'm the only male in the group, my vote doesn't mean much! This is one of many horses bolted to the sidewalks along the Pearl District in Portland. You can see they get their share of abuse getting kicked, walked on...ect. This is the one I tripped on! Why are they there? I don't know but I thought they were pretty cool!
The only male haha, you stand no chance of getting out of a shopping day :-) Great shot Jerry,

Bolted to the pavement! woah, crazy , surprised the council's not flooded with claims.

Great shot and slice of life.

@sleepdozer57 I thought that but then im a law student so i see a claim in most things :)
August 5th, 2011  
what an odd thing but made a good picture while the girls were shopping
August 5th, 2011  
Cool shot and perspective!
August 5th, 2011

Love the DOF! It's very cute, but also very dangerous! Sorry you had to endure a shopping day, but the ladies rule!
August 5th, 2011  
That stinks that you tripped on it! But it is pretty cute! Fantastic shot. :]
August 5th, 2011  
Cute idea but I wonder how many ppl have fallen on there face because of them!
August 5th, 2011  
They look tiny, and real trip hazards - do you think they are to keep cars off the pavements? Lovely capture

(this all female household hates shopping too)
August 5th, 2011

Interesting little statues. Though I can see where they would get in the way
August 7th, 2011  
Now that's something you don't see every day--love it!! (Sorry 'bout the shopping. I'd be one of those outnumbered peeps as well. UGH!)
August 8th, 2011  
Thats very strange ..." not liking shopping "" ...Joking Jerry I mean the horses ... so off I went to google and i found this which might help explain what they are .... http://pearldistrictguide.com/ took a 'Brit' to help you guys out with the answer ((o; bet you got some looks taking this shot lol nice one
August 8th, 2011  
Perfect lighting and focus!! So weird that they would be along the side walk....I'm wondering what they r there for too??
August 9th, 2011  
@bkbinthecity I loved them!
@aikiuser Lol! I'm not alone! :)
@steveh You rock, Steve! Thanks for searching that! So interesting!

August 9th, 2011  
@orangecrush oh wow! very interesting!! thanks for sharing that!
August 9th, 2011  
Wow, how interesting... I don't know if we'd be allowed that with our strict health and safety guidelines in the UK! I love the way you've framed this shot.
August 9th, 2011  
What a great idea - and such a neat capture of the street horse. I worked with someone from Portland it sounded to be a great place!
August 10th, 2011  
@milneylou It does seem like a hazard! Thanks, Louise!
@whippeteer I had a fantastic time!
