Going to work

You know what? I think I begin to love when I miss the bus. Specially during holidays because I have to wait for a long time. And what a photographer addicted to 365 do during that time? This is a really good opportunity to catch details or scenes.
This morning, I was thinking about unusual things in Paris I could shoot when the Luxembourg garden's ponies passed in front of me. I heard they spend the night in a garage and I believe it. Every day they cross part of the city to go to "work" in the garden waiting for kids. In August Paris is really empty but you have to imagine the same scene with all the cars, buses, trucks, motocycles... I think they have a terrible life and I hope they never been free in a grass field so they don't know what it is and don't miss it.
What a grand perspective! I love this one!

Oh Helene, what a sad story. However, this photo is amazing. I think the black & white and the perspective really add to the tone of the shot and emphasize the bleakness of the lives of those poor ponies. Very powerful.

Start by looking at the middle line and then cross your eyes. Try backing away from the screen.

The perspective is great the story is sad. Maybe Trevor can take the ponies in on his field for the fall.

I'm surprised you don't have a group of activists speaking out agaisnt this. They shoudl be entitled to a good home away from work.
