HFF! Mesmerised ponies!

Shetland Ponies above Ralph's Cupboard, Portreath.
They found something absolutely engrossing but I couldn't see nor guess what it was! They certainly ignored us completely! All they did, for a full 15 minutes, was stand stock still and stare straight ahead through the fence!

Beautiful capture -----> I have seen ponies and horses stand like that for hour's looking at nothing, it's almost like they are plugged in somewhere, charging up their battery's. :)

Fancy not looking at the view, treats must come from the fence direction,
Nice shot Andy.

That was what puzzled us Roger! But maybe I answer my puzzlement thus: We humans tend to view sights such as Ralph's Cupboard as the main course on the menu. Our equine friends see the grass, not the coast or sea as the main menu. QED!!!

HFF to you too Andy, I wonder which way the wind was blowing

Andy Rodker ^club

As ever, from the west, Nick. That may or may not explain it! But what wind there was, was very light!
Best wishes,

"Yummy, delicious thistles over there. How can we reach them?" maybe?
Or: "Just ignore that guy with his stupid cam, not even look" - Who knows? ;-)
Yet, HFF Andy.
Oh, and btw: a very fine capture.

Yes, you may be right about the fascination of those thistles. Leon! :o)

I see Leon_Vienna thought of the thistles as well. I imagined something wiggling oh so slightly in those thistles. Fairies? Whatever it may be, you composed a beautiful photo.

HFF (well, it's still Friday where I am...)

7 years ago.

Andy Rodker ^club

Thank you, Laura. I hadn't thought of the thistles before Leon mentioned them but it is a logical answer! Fairies as an explanation might just be a step too far for me!
We are time-zone tolerant / friendly here at ipernity as you know, Laura! :o)
