Pic of the week game

[kerrfunk]

With honorable mentions to burque, and kerrfunk, and jedz, I join the landslide for Rich​ and the horse Sassass

gustovh, your photo is not showing up) No big deal, not a winner anyway. It was there before.

..if I know anything about them it's that the one on the right is about to poop.

..Rich​ and the horse Sassass

Hmm.... good points.

The image stands tall on its visual quality alone but now that it has been mentioned maybe there is meaning in it, some kind of symbolism?

Did Rich wait for the right moment to make a statement to his viewers?

Is the horse conveying his regard for Rich or his classic mc?

Well done Rich, its a good picture and makes me think, however poorly.

 

[Rich82GS750TZ]

Um, yeah. I was just thinking 3 out of 4 ain?t bad. More later.

Ok, so, I was riding through an area near home on a road I?d never ridden on before. The whole area is nothing but the prettiest Amish and Mennonite farms you?ve ever seen. I had a vague idea of what I wanted for a B&W image. This group of what I believe are some type of draft horse were chilling in the shade next to this fence as I rode by. Something clicked in my head and I turned the bike around. They mostly posed for me but not for very long. The one on the right wasn?t interested. Besides converting to monotone, I also mildly adjusted some other levels, using the fairly rudimentary adjustments in Photos on my Mac. Here?s the sequence of pics. The scene broke up within about 10 seconds.

Jedz in the snow gets my vote just for being that hardcore.

I did not have anything to enter this week but Jedz struck a chord for me with his "Snow on the Windjammer" shot. It was scenes like it that motivated my moving to Florida a half century ago.

Chiming in a bit late but Cowboy's curious horses just does it for me.

 

[cowboyup3371]

Sandy, those horses were Rich’s. Did you mean to vote for him?

 

[cowboyup3371]

I’ll help Bob out with the Saturday morning tally time:

Burque with 1 vote
Jedz gets 3 votes
And the winner by a landslide is Rich with 8 votes (a possible 9th but we would have to wait for Sandy to chime back in)

If someone could confirm please?

 

[Rich82GS750TZ]

I want to get a new theme out early so not gonna wait for the final tally. Thanks for all the votes, guys. Just realized I forgot to vote. Would have been Jedz123.

I?m sticking with animals, or critters, creatures, any member or members of the animal kingdom, and at least part of your bike, of course:

like the snake I didn?t run over last week.

Gaaaah!!! Loved snakes when I was a kid. Now not.

Oops. Yes I did. Looks like it matter much though. Congrats Rich.

Thanks Scott.
Got an early start replacing the water pump on our Durango, and just plain forgot.

Congrats, Rich....And good new theme...

They realised almost immediately you had no apples for them and were of no further interest.
Horses, they're so shallow.

[Rich82GS750TZ]

Well, I guess since I didn’t specify that the critter must be alive/not fake/non fictional, I’ll have to allow that, Bob. Haha
