David,
I enjoyed those shots as much as anything I've seen in a while in the forum,
photography capturing and conveying tremendous energy and despite our human
frailty, man's undefeatable pursuit of challenge, etc. Not meant to sound
profound, just what struck me. Impossible to fully appreciate without being in
immediately proximity to one of these 1000kg beasts at some point in your life.
Scary animals when they're upset. Many summers spent at my Grandfather's
horse ranch in Montana, so I've been there. Thanks for the memories. Kevin
