Wordless Wednesday links.
And because everyone is so curious:
Those galloping creatures represent the world's largest equestrian sculpture, the Mustangs of Las Colinas, captured in bronze as they move across a granite stream at Irving's Williams Square. African wildlife artist Robert Glen installed this spectacular piece in 1984, as a memorial to the heritage of Texas. The sculpture recognizes that "Texas is not only a geographical place on this continent, but that it represents a distinctive spirit and way of life of a people who are committed to the freedoms of action, initiative and expression for each individual man and woman as no other culture before has exhibited."

I almost hate to admit it, but I thought for a split second, why are those horses green? LOL
They look so real!
That is breathtaking! Both the statues and the photo have such energy.
Fantastic statue. I love the use of the fountains to mimic hoof spray. Thanks for sharing this.
What a great photo! My daughter the horse lover would absolutely love to have that picture framed on her wall!
What an excellent statue. Nicely captured!
I love this photo. I have some horse photos on my blog but they are my sisters.
What a fantastic sculpture. That artist is truly gifted.
Thats a cool fountain! Thanks for sharing that!
What a neat statue. I'm with "mousey," about thinking that they were real at first. When the page loaded, I thought, "Oh neat, horses," and then I saw what it actually was! Where is that statue located?
Great statue and great shot! Is that near where you live?
That is stunning. So lifelike. They remind me of the sculptures by Childe Hassan.
wow for a minute there, I thought they were real! I wonder who the artist is...they are lovely statues! Great picture. Thanks so much for stopping by my WW!
