  3. Beautiful. Sometimes I can't tell if the sun is rising or setting until I read the captions. Is there a way to determine which is which from a photo?

  5. Aw, this is just too cute and too serene! I'm sure that horse has dozed off for the night - things look so peaceful I'm sure I would too!

  8. He looks like he is asleep to me. I was always amazed that all animals can get any rest at all while standing up on their feet but they do.

  9. To me, the horse and the stable make the picture - a magnificent atmosphere when the setting sun is added.

    PS Doesn't horses sleep standing?

  14. Beautiful, and there's something almost horse-y about the cloud, not sure what - a bit of mane, a flying tail?

    ReplyDelete
  15. What a great shot; that is a very impressive heavy horse.

  18. LOVE this sky! Ours was like this before in the afternoon yesterday. (I was locked in a meeting at sunset, so I've no idea how it turned out.) HOWEVER, near me there is nothing so picturesque beneath the sky!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Love the cloud in your shot! Lovely colors and shape! And I believe the horse is taking a nap - yes!

    Great shot!

  20. What a beautiful sleepy atmosphere,
    thank you!

    ( Our snow is covering still everything, it has started a little to become more wet, but nowhere is still a ground to see :) It is very usual yet in this time of year on our latitudes )

    Beautiful weekend to you!

  21. Great shot. He looks like he's nodding off. Beautiful sunset, too.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Well if he's already nodded off, I wouldn't recommend waking him up. That's one powerful looking beast! Whew!

    And he's the perfect counterpoint to that gorgeous sunset!

  31. What an idyllic scene. Trust you to come up with the most enchanting photo each time. The contrast between the greyness of the landscape and the tired horse and the red sky is amazing and yet there are no stark contrasts. How do you do it?

  32. Love the setting, beautiful sky!
