Color photo. A number of metal sculptures of running horses, seen from the front. They are covered in a reddish patina of rust. They are on a hillside covered in low green and yellow scrub. The deep blue sky is full of clouds, some of which are lenticular.

Today is Lunar New Year and it is the year of the Fire Horse.  I do not have any photos of horses on fire (good!), or made of fire (which would be cool), so can I interest you in a photo of horses made with fire?

Taken over a decade ago, this photo is of a steel sculpture called Grandfather Cuts Loose the Ponies, by artist David Govedare, and it is located at the top of a hill near Vantage, Washington, above the Columbia River.  From the interstate, and the parking area at the foot of the hill, it looks like a line of horses running along the top of the ridge.  A short hike will bring you up and gives you angles like this from which to admire them.

Gear: Nikon D90, Nikon 24mm f1.4
