These two beauties decided to look at the camera at the same time, so I was very happy! I think they may even have been smiling ;-)
They are Flemish horses, a breed that used to be kept to work the land, but is now disappearing. So some people have set up a breeding programme, and as far as I know these two are a result of an attempt to keep the breed of draught horses alive. They are both stallions, kept at Hoeve Hangerijn, a farm near Bruges. You can see more photos of them and of the big one's mother in my album 'Horses'.
Installation of «Well and Truly » by Roni Horn ...
Two friends together in France
Thanks to the close involvement of Roni Horn, this exhibition provides the opportunity for this power and these affinities to be seen and felt for the first time in France. In the words of Felix Gonzalez-Torres, on the subject of his friend’s art, it gives an unprecedented outline of a “new landscape, a possible horizon”, and “a place of the imagination”, and in those of Roni Horn, “a field of waves” that is continually reworked.
Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Roni Horn, both conceptual artists, established radical practices with often minimalistic means that contributed to a redefinition of the exhibition as a medium for including the viewer and had a major influence on an entire generation of younger artists. They strive to grasp the inexpressible, the immeas-urable.
For them, what comprises the “œuvre” is the tension produced with the spectator in an artistic experiment linking the artist, spectator, and the object.
This exhibition emphasises the notions of dou-bling up, duality, complexities within repetition, and identity at work in the artists’ respective artistic practices.

Io mi ero seduta su un tronco , nell 'erba e presa le zecche. Me ne ero accorta tre giorni dopo.

Two girls chatted about pregnancy at the market in Almuñecar. The picture is from 2005, so the kid is 17 today, time flies.
Looks like this one worked the farm pretty good giving the two horses a new lease on life.
Happy Truck Thursday!
Macro Monday's and the theme of "Two".
Here are two Tealight candles. I had the idea that cutting out the number "2" in a black sheet of card and placing it over the lens would render the flame in the background as the number "2".
Aside from my rubbish cutting skills I was quite happy with how it turned out.
The tricky part here was estimating the size that I should cut the number as I have a full frame lens on a crop sensor camera. If I cut it too large then it wouldn't work as well. The aperture f/4 worked the best and smaller apertures would require a smaller cut out.
The funny thing this week was that I didn't think I would be posting at all. The hard drive on my laptop failed and in the time left access to another laptop wasn't really possible. I managed to get around this by figuring out I could connect my smartphone to a card reader, therefore I could shoot normally and then transfer the raw file to the phone and then edit in Snapseed before uploading. Not something I'd normally do but good to know I can do that if necessary.
The two churches of St. Ulrich in Augsburg: in front the Protestant, behind the Catholic one

Augsburg used to be a Mixed Imperial City (Paritätische Reichsstadt) with an equally mixed Catholic–Protestant city council.

The onion shaped tower of the late-gothic Catholic church, which was finalized in 1594, became a model of lots of Baroque onion shaped church towers in Bavaria.
The little onion shaped tower of the Protestant church was built in the years 1709 and 1710.

Another 10 year old shot from where I always closed out my Glacier Park trips. While I loved Many Glacier's many charms, like Grinnell Point, Swiftcurrent Falls and many other beauties I preferred to spend the last few days in this more peaceful, serene and less visited part of the park. Truly good medicine.
Thanks for taking a look!
This is a re-do of an image I posted a few days ago. I used a plain white background, this time, and I preferred the result. The previous version has been deleted.
HMM to everyone.
Two of my Penguin ornaments with some fake (post processing) snow. While the Melbourne area has Penguins, it generally doesn't have snow except in the high country or very, very occasionally in the northern suburbs in late winter. HSoS
