  1. But where’s the rest of the horse? :-) Really – this is a stunning shot & perfect for the theme. Thanks for visiting me – have a great weekend!

  2. A pity he no longer has legs to balance on.

    Great take in the theme.

    Okay, that’s just cool. And really good placement of object vs. negative space, too.

    Nice shot you got here. And look how strong the sculptured horse is. I’d like to visit a museum one of these days but I’m not sure if we are allowed to take photos of inside of it, sad but true.

    We were completely unprepared for the blase attitude the folks at the British had. Basically, you can take photos anywhere, with a few exceptions. Those exceptions are clearly marked, and its because the light might damage the piece. This is not the case in most American musuems I’ve been to. (sadly.)
