Te-he-he...can't wait to show no 2 to my other half later...she'll scream with approval I'm sure. Strange woman that she is, she adores the feet of animals! Nice captures...I like.

A Dog looks up to a man,
A cat looks down on a man,
But a horse looks a man in the eye and sees him as an equal.

A beautiful set of images Flavio, excellent colour and focus takes us into the horse farm, lets make sure we pick a mount with sturdy set of shoes, and check the hair before starting off, looking good, and so is the final picture reminding us of the magnificent surrounding Judean hills, nicely ridden and captured my friend

Gorgeous scenery, well presented. I would never have thought of taking a picture of horse's feet, but I enjoyed yours immensely and it is my favorite!

This geographical location, Judean Hills, I've known in name all my life without ever seeing even one image of them. You bring my personal history to life and your panaramic sweep of these hills in your last photo especially shows the scope of their beauty. Thanks.

I felt inspired to be part of this journey. Every shot stands alone and is powerful and evocative. Thank you very much.

Good stitching job flavio. The 2 horse-eye views are my favorites.

Thanks for mentioning that. I hope she likes the hooves.
Thanks for your kind comments!
