and some essence of horse!
Anytime you want to show a little more horse Tom, those pics are welcome here
We did see a magnificent tree coated with 'horror' frost from the steam rising up from one of the thermal creeks --it was glistening, all backlit in the rising sun. After driving past, Asa tried to resist the urge to turn around to get a shot of the tree. Eventually, he gave in and we went back and pulled off the road in a great place for the shot and an impossible place to get out of
that was the first time we got stuck...and no, we didn't get a pic of the tree
By the time we got back and got stuck the magic light was gone, and by the time we got unstuck the light was all wrong.
Turns out, light is everything, and it's fleeting. Not to say that we don't take photos in bad light--obviously we do. They just don't turn out as great as the ones in good light. Ever.
