Just shows that we have little control over a determined horse! Love seeing what the horses can do. A little painful to see the contortions of man (figuratively and literally). #6 is particularly interesting and begs the question - is everyone okay? Thanks for sharing some nice shots.
I get stuck on mood and colors and they are both wonderful in your photograph. As for the door, that is where the spector is almost to the door! Beautiful and eerie.
I have really enjoyed your hiking trip! Today my favorites are #1 and #4. The first one is surreal. The beautiful light works perfectly to pull my eye through the landscape. The last one - I'm a sucker for dramatic moon shots. I see the little bird on the top of the rock formation. :) Thank you for sharing with us.
