The Spring Knight

P1300407 - So it's one of those what do you think it looks like jobs. Me I am going with the romantic notion that it is a knight on horseback defending spring against winter (mainly because I like the idea).
You can go with whatever you wish, I have seen a man with a top in there dancing with a lady with half hat. Also Donald Duck holding a baby.

It's dried grass just in case you were wondering. About 8 foot away (2metres approx), free hand shot. It was in the middle of a bog, so no chance of getting any nearer.

I just love it.

I do the daily shoot as I find it useful to understand different subject matters that I probably would not attempt otherwise. Today's assignment : What kind of other art do you appreciate? Make a photograph that celebrates it today.

I have seen just about every kind of art man or woman has churned out of the years, from Cave art up to modern digital art, laser light art and so on. Thought about it for a while and looked around the house to find something that would tick that box.

Then took the dogs out for a walk, thought about it some more and concluded that actually there is one one kind of art that I totally appreciate in another form and it has to be Mother Nature. As fate would have it the dogs and I had to find a new route due to a road closure and there this stood about three foot off the ground.
