Waiting For The Ferry?

I can ensure you, that this is no manip, but a real photograph. It's taken on the nature preserve 'Midelplaten' in Zeeland, The Netherlands. The passing sailboat perhaps causes a matter of 'optical illusion', since the nature preserve is adjacent to a creek where boats are allowed to sail.

The (semi) wild Haflinger horses like to cross another creek in this area. Seems that they are patiently waiting for a suitable ferry to come, ☺.

A tad manic, so it's my weekly entry for Manic Monday.

I bet they have already purchased their tickets. It just makes horse sense to be ready to board.

Waiting for the ferry - No, deciding who will get into the water first ! Nice capture of the group Cornelius.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.

I wonder if they pay the fare in oats? Great shot.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967

A camera didn't make a great picture anymore than a typewriter wrote a great novel. (Peter Adams)

I think that they may be thinking how to get across and who will lead. This is a terrific photo Cornelius.
