I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Nice photo! Looks like the same grey day we have in Oslo - but then, grey days can give great reflections in the water! Beautiful horses!
interesting reflection! thanks for sharing
Love the reflections and colours in this water shot!
Neat pictures. Reminds me when I was in Sri Lanka. We rode on the beach then too. Unfortunately I am not much of a horseman, but I do enjoy seeing them along with the occasional ride.
I lost my comment.
I was saying how nice and how unique your post is today.
Hope everything's well in your part of the world.

What a beautiful post, so unique and clever for today's theme.
Great shot. I always thought it looked so romantic to see riders and horses riding along the beach...but they look cold, not romantic. :-)
They're getting a lil deep - Cool reflections!
Nice fun photo, the horses and riders will be loving that dip.
A great sight to come upon.
That looks like fun! Probably fun for the horses too.
One of those photos that you just have to be there at the right time - and with your camera.
Beautiful shots.

Very beautiful photo. Isn't the water cold?
wonderful picture with a reflection. thanks for sharing.
Beautiful horses. The whole scene is so tranquil and the sea looks endless with that mist in the horizon. Great capture.
Very unique choice of photos. Good shot.
What an interesting way to train race horses!
Love this reflection photo ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
Great photo.
