The Road I Take...

2008.02.24
“No one knows what causes an outer landscape to become an inner one.”

— Margaret Atwood

“We are the children of our landscape; it dictates behavior and even thought in the measure to which we are responsive to it”

— Lawrence Durrell

We are a landscape of all we have seen.
— Isamu Noguchi

I like to think of the landscape not as a fixed place but as a path that is unwinding before my eyes, under my feet. To see and know a place is a contemplative act. It means emptying our minds and letting what is there, in all its multiplicity and endless variety, come in.
—Gretel Ehrlich

This road, actually two roads, are often a bit out of my way, but I like to go and meander— and slowly pass the horses and the field beyond. The Belted Galways never seem to move, but each time I stop— there's more to see— a baby calf, the pail on its side—snow piles.

Lindyart beautiful set ... love that first horse shot.. he's pretty .. the snow is so so beautiful :)

Peche Gorgeous set.
I love the first shot so very much, the framing is so lovely, and just emphasises the contrast between the horse's colour and the tree and the fence... Beautiful.

Beagles3 Beautiful horse close-up

Zedsdead Durrel might have baulked at all that snow though. he tended to inhabit the more balmy climes. LOL. Durrel is only one reason photo #2 is my favourite. I swear that horse knows what you have written there, and rather sagely, agrees!.. ?:o)
