Is he socking that horse in the jaw??? hmmm ...I'd be more likely to try sugar cubes apples and carrots and win the horses affection than fight it. It's bigger than me :)
Beautiful photos !!! On the ramp to the Vienna parliament, there are four bronze horse-tamers (Rossebändiger). They symbolize the mastery of the passions - a prerequisite for higher-level parliamentary system. Happy WW! Greetings from Augsburg- Germany :)

ReplyDeleteLovely! hey, why the kibbutz on other languages?
ReplyDeleteLooks like 3 or 4 of the same statues in the exterior of this building. Horse tamers must have been an important job here sometime in history.
