This, the first in an occasional series of the famous White Horses of Wiltshire, is of Westbury White Horse the oldest. It was originally cut in the early 1700s. For more information look here. The reason for the title? - Directly above the horse is a hanglider, this hill being a favourite spot as a launch site!

It is amazing to learn, what wonderful things happen in this world. I have never heard about that and in the first moment I thought I see some kind of drawing of a horse. This looks so awesome. Thanks for showing!

I would be happy, seeing you in my galerie. Today I've posted Vienna Today (4)
Cool...they were telling the aliens that we have horses. I imagine the aliens were greatly impressed. Nice work.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

Amazing, this one must be seen full size! Never heard mention or saw these horses before, Steve. Good post and I thought the link most informative.

We make a living by what we get; but we make a life by what we give.
I've seen this horse and some of the other Wiltshire ones, and very much appreciate your fine photo of it. I'm downloading it. The hang glider adds even more interest. And the dreary day, well, that's part of the package, eh?

Nice shot, well titled. I also like pictures with a bit of history.

They travel far afield too - we have one not far away, in Waimate, much younger, made in the 1960's. If you are interested you can read about it and a few other 'foreigners' here http://wiltshirewhitehorses.org.uk/foreign.html
This is a beautiful shot Steve, and gives a very clear view of it.Nice title and the hanglider adds interest. :)
