Thanks A. The light was so clear and bright today

By nopanic, # 29. August 2008, 23:19:44

Kinda flat coming from a guy in Washington State -- Ha!

Easier to walk than those stairs, though.

The horses look kinda old. Which makes me wonder about the story behind that farm.

Those are some hot little lips on that emoticon!

By edwardpiercy, # 29. August 2008, 23:33:05

indeed!

By ellinidata, # 29. August 2008, 23:38:57

Is that the :iangeliki: emoticon?

By edwardpiercy, # 29. August 2008, 23:42:43

I just moved the focus from the lips to the eyes!
no emotions of me yet!
I do get many things from guys that create of me but this did not happen yet!

By ellinidata, # 29. August 2008, 23:46:55

Beautiful shots, Nic!

By Stardancer, # 29. August 2008, 23:49:23

I'm not that prolific in my computer skills.

Which isn't to say that I couldn't think of a few things.

By edwardpiercy, # 29. August 2008, 23:49:55

hahaha I am sure!
what ever you do,
avoid images of me wearing Arabic clothes, having 100+1 tattoos ,dancing like Elaine Benni's...
I need original things,
my collection has things to write many posts about!

By ellinidata, # 29. August 2008, 23:53:22

Nicolaki,
thanks for the hospitality !

By ellinidata, # 29. August 2008, 23:56:18

those pictures seem magazine pictures. the color in there is absolutely great!

By b_laudanum, # 30. August 2008, 01:04:40

Excellent photographs Nic, I especially like a middle one

Ed, They Shoot Horses, Don't They?

By gdare, # 30. August 2008, 04:52:49

These photos go perfectly together. Danish countryside.

I have a particularly strong feeling for the sheep-pic', though.

I would name it "The Outsider" if it was mine.

I made something similar - yet entirely different - once:

@ Ankeliki
You´re welcome

@ Bea
Yeah. The colours are like supernatural, aren´t they?!

@ Darko
Great D. It´s like an island isn´t it. In the earth sea

@ Allan
AAAaah I love that pic Allan. One tiny wheel out of order. Exellent

Its the shopping carrage that never runs straight. I always get that one

But someone has to take it

By nopanic, # 30. August 2008, 07:58:46

Lovely day in your awesome photos.

By Cynthia23, # 30. August 2008, 14:01:46

Can you see it Cynth? I had a wonderful day

By nopanic, # 30. August 2008, 16:23:12

these photos look so surreal... i especially like the horses - are they ponies? they look a little chunky...

getting ready for the winter months i presume.

By wickedlizard, # 31. August 2008, 15:50:14

I felt surreal. I´m happy beyond any logic reason. But I really feel it rubs of on my photos and my painting.
The horses are undoubtedly ponies of some sort. We could ask Adele if she knows what kind it is

By nopanic, # 31. August 2008, 16:34:01

Hi Nic, I'm really not good on equine breeds! Well, I know a few, but not many. I agree that these were ponies but more specific than that, sorry

By SittingFox, # 31. August 2008, 17:49:51

Aww thats sweet of you Adele. Thanks. You know what? I might drive up there again and simply ask the farmer about it

By nopanic, # 31. August 2008, 17:59:54

That sounds like a good move!

By SittingFox, # 31. August 2008, 18:05:25

Yes. It´s on the way to my steph daughter. SO. I´ll be passing from time to time

By nopanic, # 31. August 2008, 18:06:42

Hope today is just as wonderful Nic!

By Cynthia23, # 31. August 2008, 18:13:43

It has been great, Cynth! I visited my friend Rune (RuneSB also an opera member

) We turned some good subjects today

By nopanic, # 31. August 2008, 21:38:50

Beautiful! I almost thought Shots Two and Three were one shot with a white path between them.

Very enjoyable.

By momable, # 2. September 2008, 03:30:46

Err yeah they´re a bit close

...but..when they´re that close the pics makes some kind of rythm and interaction. they become related. I like that

By nopanic, # 2. September 2008, 07:21:13

I like it, too. It would even be cool if you put the two shots together and made your own road.

By momable, # 2. September 2008, 17:26:04

I do that in my paintings sometimes. Combine pictures in the idea phase to a painting

By nopanic, # 2. September 2008, 18:55:52

The horses are ponies, Fjordheste/Nordbakker in danish. I don't know the english name for them.

Monday and friday I spend many hours with two of the sort, Truska and Punto. Proud and indipendant creatures. They are big and strong horses that really like to eat. If you don't exercise them, they will get fat very fast. A bucketfull of müsli a day will help. Müsli is good for everyone.

I don't ride much anymore due to a knee injury, but I sometimes take Truska for a stroll around the farm. She's not really in to it, and she's a little old for that sort of sillyness too, but she likes my company. It's mutual.

Old horses are generally good company. They don't talk much.

Very good pictures, Nic...

By Aqualion, # 2. September 2008, 23:32:26

Thanks a million Kjeldsen. Great info. It must be safe riding. I think I could reach the ground with my feet even if sitting on it

By nopanic, # 3. September 2008, 07:52:09

Not at all, Nic. They are big horses. Truska meassures 170 cm from foot to shoulder and weighs about 280 kg. But it's safe riding anyway, because they are bone idle and not easily intimidated by sounds and comotion.

By Aqualion, # 3. September 2008, 08:26:01

Sounds like a hourse for me. Have to go back and take a closer look at them. Still have over half of my vacation left

By nopanic, # 3. September 2008, 08:28:53

If you give a horse like that an apple or a carrot he will be your loyal friend forever after. The special thing about horses is that they never forget and the first impression will last.

Good luck.

@ Kjellsen
Great!

@ Issy

By nopanic, # 3. September 2008, 20:11:12

Horses like sugar cubes and beer, too.

By Stardancer, # 3. September 2008, 20:28:02

I do too

And I don´t mind sharing with a hourse.

By nopanic, # 3. September 2008, 20:32:46

By Stardancer, # 3. September 2008, 20:33:33

I guess one or two sugarcubes is okay, but sugar is basicly not good for horses. It upsetts their stomacks, and... well... I've cleaned up many stables in my time, and I wouldn't recommend sugar. Beer is always good. For all living creatures. Just remember: what goes in must eventually go out again.

By the way, Nic: Horses understand the concept of sharing quite well. Most animals do. If you want to be friends with animals it's a good thing to give them food, but making them understand that you are actually sharing your food with them is better. Goes with cats and dogs too. And people as well.

By Aqualion, # 3. September 2008, 21:05:48

Nice info

By gdare, # 3. September 2008, 21:48:24

@ Kjellsen.
I know that from numerous times while feeding my son when he was a baby.
Mmmmh nice food. Look daddy likes it too and it´s not too hot. Have eaten a lot of baby food
