Another very creative photograph. I didn't think of Halloween when I saw the photograph. I thought of a Samurai warrior; the rider appears to have a top knot.

Great photo.

I can't take credit for the poetry ..... those were the words to a Halloween song I learned when I was in elementary school. I thought the line "you hear the sound of running feet" went well with my dark horseman.

Oh Man, Now I have to take your statue off the pedestal. And it was so heavy to get up there tooo. </sigh>

Thank you lou. You're closer to the truth ..... I wish now I had not included the reference to Halloween as this was never meant to depict the headless horseman. He's actually a cavalryman in a Revolutionary War Reenactment, and is depicting a rider in William Washington's 3rd Light Dragoons. See here another photo of the riders, showing their helmets: http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-193937-1.html

That wasn't Eddie Arcaro in the 5th at Belmont was it. Lovely photo. I like it.

Thanks dennis. No, the guy is Revolutionary War reenactor at the reenactment of the Battle of Guilford Courthouse in Greensboro, NC.

Thanks Sue. This image was repurposed. Originally shot at a Revolutionary War reenactment, when it came time to find a subject that might make for an interesting silhouette, this horseman galloped into the picture.

Seriously cool shot, Bob!!! But...isn't he supposed to be...headless? LOL

Nah, he's following up in the rear. This one got a head start.
