Upscale Stable/ Sky Watch

Into every life some rain must fall. Luckily these horses have a place to take cover, eh?

Hmmmm. Some horses live in nicer places than people, and here's a photo of one such spiffy residence. Kinda nice, don't you agree?

Whenever we travel west to reach highway 400 -- a major north/south highway -- we pass by this gorgeous building. When the "stable" was being built we couldn't imagine who was going to live there. ;-) The house behind, which you can just barely see in the background, isn't too shabby either.

I was drawn by the photo of the lovely house....didn't suspect it was just the stables. Very nice indeed. Are these racehorses?

Quiet Paths said...

This is a terrific shot; those mounds of clouds almost make a spiral tower over the stables.

This is a wonderful looking horse palace, or I mean place :-)

:) I see a smiley face in the clouds smiling down on some rather pampered horses. Wonder what their chow is?

This is simply perfection. Love the scene.

Texas Travelers said...

Are these the draft horses for plowing the fields and gardens?

I think not.

Great photo,

You are right, pretty amazing. I.m sure they would like your picture in their dining room. It's good enough.

Nice to know that these horses have a beautiful home.
Great SW post.

I agree that the horses live in a nice place. And the clouds over the building look like roses - just beautiful! Thanks for coming to my place. So you also like hiking :) I'm addicted...

I do like the way the white of the stable is repeated in those puffy white clouds ~ it makes a beautiful picture!

That's certainly somewhat bigger than my house! :)
The photo is gorgeous - well done.

I happened to see your 'tracks' photo below - love it as well.

Lovely photo. And yes, what nice accommodations. Might consider moving there myself if not for the smell!

Small City Scenes said...

Wow!Great barn for the horses. Stable I guess. You are right about the house too. MB

I have always wanted to have a barn house! This barn would do nicely for that! And I love that sky!

Angie said...

Yes, those horses certainly are lucky to live in such a beautiful building!

Arija said...

Very nice stables, wouln't mind living in them myself. The pile behind is a neat little cottage too. How come with all that they get such a lovely setting as well. Some people have all the luck!

Gemma Wiseman said...

What a beautiful country scene! And the clouds are like a touch of icing on the dreamscape!

It makes me think of the film Witness by Peter Weir.

Pernille said...

Very nice shot with lovely clouds and a beautiful place. Well done:)

Neal said...

That is very beautiful. It looks so peaceful and inviting!

Roan said...

Nice! It reminds me of a place near Nashville, TN. I always enjoyed passing by when the horses were outside. I always said I wouldn't mind living in the barn! Great skywatch. BJ

Carver said...

That's a splendid shot and I wish I could live with the horses in their fabulous stable.

Dewdrop said...

Great stables - reminds me though of one that was recently raised to the ground by fire.

Lilli & Nevada said...

What a lovely setting i would love to be sitting on a chair and just watching it all the horses

Rune Eide said...

What you might call a "nice villa"...

Thank you for sharing!

Reader Wil said...

Wonderful for horses to have such a dwelling! Mine is much smaller!

Linda Reeder said...

The steeples on the stable seem to be piercing the sky.
Must be some important horses!

Kelly said...

Beautiful horse barn! Stunning catch and picture!

Unknown said...

What a great capture and nice composition.

Mary said...

Wow, just gorgeous! And I think that my house would fit in that barn with room left over for three more... :)

Mary said...

Ah, yes....maybe they would share quarters with us? Wonderful photo! Love your header, too!

It's nice sky, and a great photo. I'm not going to ruin by appreciation by thinking about horses living in luxury.

Shammickite said...

I drive by that stable building every time I go to see my son in Tottenham... and I always think what a nice place it is. I hope the horses appreciate it!
The other unusual building on that road is the Golf Club with the curved roof!

Rambling Woods said...

Each individual horse is probably worth the cost of a decent college's tuition...see where my thoughts are...

Kostas said...

Amazing photograph, splendid colours, very good the frame!
