@Everyone: Thank you so much for your comments :)

@Sputnik+: There are no wild horses in Iceland, those are not riding horses though, and they are kept in those fields all year round.

B I R D  Pro User  says:

beauty rests in your hands
in quick movements
when you decide to stop
and bring back
this type of game
fulfilling every primordial wish
to respect and celebrate the land
cherish the light
speak to the power of thought
wrap yourself warmly in ancient symbols
the horses foraging in the meadow
the glow of sun pushing through the sky
coming to rest, wearily dropping
across the verdant horizon
faint wisdom fleeting it in the chill
knowing beginnings and endings
falling through the tiny mirror
onto the image plane
as you compose another light symphony
expanding visualization in a vision dance
priestess of the melting north
shake the bones, roll the spirits
beauty rests in your hands
in quick movements
practiced like the primeval ones
patiently stalked their prey

Lovely light. I like the composition in the placement of the setting sun. That is what first caught my eye, then the diagonal line formed by the grasslands contour leads the eye that are finally settling among the beautiful horses.

Thank you everyone for your comments :) Many of you have left so many inspiring words.

@Greatwork: Thank you, that is beautiful. I do feel honored to be an inspiration for words like these. Thank you.

@hleewell: There are many really good Icelandic photographers on Flickr, I see none of them as a rival though:) We are all here to share and learn, and be inspired by others. The light on the foreground is the headlights of my car, it was the only way I could minimise the difference in light on foreground vs. sky. Always experimenting;)
