HORSE AND SULKY

This is from last weekend’s break in Gozo.

We arrived at my sister’s second residence in Gozo at around 5.00pm and found my sister, her husband, my eldest brother and his wife already there. We hurriedly but our things inside her apartment and straightaway went out for a walk with them. Our walk was through rural countryside when all of a sudden I saw this guy coming towards me in this narrow street exercising his horse. Luckily the settings on my camera (I always shoot manual) were correct because I shot in the blind. The shot resulted a bit over-exposed by I managed to correct that with Photoshop. The two onlookers in the background are my brother, Joe, and my brother-in-law, also Joe.

Thank you so much for viewing and for the wonderful comments and the fav’s on yesterday’s picture.

This is a great image, the clarity of the sulky - how lucky you were to have the settings correct by the time!!!

This horse is young, full of energy and being very nicely trained. What a lovely scene to see - so natural and with the right light for both the horses and the men!

A great capture of this beautiful sight -- I love the rural setting with the stone wall to support this horse and sulky !
