Horsey, horsey, horsey! Three horsies!

I recently came across the following picture with the picture taker's account of how it came to pass and I could NOT pass up the opportunity to share....

"Lightning At Horse World a Black and white Color fine art Print."

I'm sorry we have to stop already. HORSE WORLD??? Where is this magical place my next family vacation will be?! This is an afterschool PBS show waiting to happen!

"This is the real deal. This is NOT a composite image. When I first saw this sculpture I thought it would be incredible with lightning striking."

Yeah, whenever I see a sculpture of horsies I think the same thing.
"For me it is like the lightning bolts hit and the Arabian horse reared, then the Quarter horse and Thoroughbred horse took off in different directions, making this all come alive!"

...(shakes head)
"It took me years to get this shot. It was one of the most dangerous photo shoot I have done. After years of waiting for the storms to be in the right place at the right time…."

I'm sorry, YEARS???
"... one night it happened. I was shooting in North Scottsdale Arizona and I noticed the storm down here. So I bee lined it for this location. So here I am shooting in the middle of the road with a medal tripod."

Was it a gold medal tripod?

"The lightning strikes were extremely close. Water was running at my feet getting me wet."

Water will do that.
"In the middle of the road with water at my feet and a medal tripod and lightning hitting feet away."

I'm sorry, it lightning is feet away, you get hit. So are we talking 1,000 feet away maybe???
"But this is the Shot…"
Because you are a homo.
"...this is the shot I have been waiting for for years."

Ho...

"And it is happening."

Mo.
"So I grin and bear it and hope of for the best. I can say my heart was racing."

Not from the lightning, from the realization of years of horsey dreams.

"Did not even know if I would get the shot or get killed. Well I got the shot."

Obviously.
"I love horses so this was a dream shot for me."

If only Fabio was sitting on the horse in the rain for you. . . (hmmm)

"I tell my customers the day I get struck these prints are going to be worth a lot more than you paid for them."

Can you really put a price on something like this??? I mean isn't THIS why the world priceless exists?

Special thanks to Adobe Photoshop :)
