This is a portrait of an old and sick, almost dying icelandic horse. The breeder is deciding if he can stay alive or not. He is suffering from a disease on his hoofs for a long time already. Despite he was always cheerful and ate well. now it is going down with this chap. I think this was the last time i saw him and said goodbye....
dear AM3 friends, after a while i found back my eyes again. next few weeks i will be in France, Paris and the Dordogne. In the first week of august i return and join in again. Have a nice summer!
I like the photo with its detail and color. The story is sad.

Wonderful shiny hair. Sad to have such a thing happen. Even us as humans go thought the thought of weather the pain & suffering outweighs the laughter of life.
