Description

On a foggy drive in Lassen County, California, USA, I stopped for a roadside leg stretch near the Dreamcatcher Wild Horse and Burro Sanctuary. The animals there have endured a great deal between their time on the open range to their current home. They have become somewhat accustomed to humans but they are still more cautious than most domestic horses are. This chestnut horse was interested in me but somewhat tentative at approaching and paused momentarily to peer at me from the fog a few moments before ultimately deciding I wasnt a threat and walking over to see if I had something to feed it.

I like the minimalistic feel of the image and hope someone else does as well.

This one is for the person who wants something on the wall that doesn't perform. No golden hour, no dramatic sky just a rescue horse materializing out of a foggy Lassen County morning, caught in the half-second before it decided I wasn't a threat. The muted tones and minimal composition disappear into a room the way good art should, holding their own without competing with everything else around them. If your taste runs toward calm over loud, this was made for your wall.
