Country Relaxin'
This past Saturday I ventured up to Guanella Pass and onwards to the Ghost Town of Como, a literal timewarp that harks back to the wildwest, fully intact and presevered, few folks still live here. It is high up, probably close to 10,000 feet, and this winter has been VERY bad in the high country. In fact just last week they interviewed a resident of Como and she talked about how the town was totally cut off of supplies...which made me right away think of the horses there. I have photographed these horses the last 5 years now, and I always find them so friendly...not your typical horses, these are true and tried working horses...where Cowboys still exist and the west stil lives. Upon entering Como, I was shocked at the snowbanks, over 20 feet high, and they were plowed out finally from a construction crew using Catepillars. And low and behold, so was the feeding field for the horses.......  I was happy they were ok, as I was quite concerned, as they have become kind of a good friend to me and my camera. More on Como can be found here [link] and here [link] and it's history as a Wild West town Thoughts welcomed, print to come! ---John ------------------------ See more on my website jdebordphoto.com All artwork is © John De Bord, All Rights Reserved.

The facial expression here is just wonderful, so purley relaxing
 .A great shot and nice with the short focal range. Might would have placed him a bit more to the left in position tho. Great photo! -- [Homepage] [RedBubble]  This is a beautiful shot though it feels kind of sad. The horse looks exhausted - must have been a hard winter for them with all the snow.
-- "So my choice is 'or Death'?? Well, I have the chicken then!" ~ Eddie Izzard   great shot!
   yep, it is nice one, so peaceful!
