Time Out

During the Nelson Arts Festival week, I found this guy cruising in CBD. Today he was parked on Bridge Street. I couldn’t resist taking a snap.

The Festival ends tomorrow.

do you remember Kris posted a similar carriage weeks ago from Szentes? Its very rare to see but at some places still you can find in Hungary.

Thanks GiuCe and Zsolt72!

No, I did not know (Sorry Kris), but I found one on late September in Kris's blog. It's quite similar.

That man looks so lonely, but I am sure his horse is one of his best friends.

wow this is a blast from the past - I did not think to see this being used for real kine - excellent timing and the horse looks every bit as healthy too.

Ben said...

Thank you all,

The first time I noticed him (few days before taking this photo) was the sound of the horse coming form behind me.
It was a strange feeling hearing that sound among cars passing by.

you were lucky to be there at the right time - we have policemen on horseback sometimes here - think it's a tourist thing but i really like it.
