The Noble Horse


Got to UT early again today to shoot.  This wire sculpture of three horses is located in front of the visitor center.  There is a small rock with a plaque with the words "The Noble Horse" in front of them.  I like how the grounds crew deliberately leaves the horses some longer grass to munch on!  They are larger than life-sized - the one in the foreground stands about 9-10 feet at the withers (my guess, anyway).

  1. They create a very interesting effect in the photograph. What a great subject to photograph. I like how you can see the buildings in the background. The horses almost seem like ghosts in this image.

  2. These are very cool! Gosh, I haven't been to campus in a long time. I used to go there, but that was like 12 years ago! I love this subject - they do look real, but transparent, or ghost like! Very surreal effect. I will have to take a ride over there one of these days and see all the campus goodies.
