Photographer’s Note
Quan viatges per Islàndia pots trobar-te milers de cavalls en el teu camí. Segurament hi deu haver més cavalls que persones en aquesta illa. No es tracta, però, del tiípc cavall que un es pot trobar en altres latituds. El cavall islandès és més gran que un pony però més petit que el típic cavall americà o àrab. Algú em va explicar que els Islandesos tenien un gran apreci per aquests nobles animals i que molts d’ells (sobretot en el camp) en tenien com aquell que té un gos o un gat! No sé si alguns d’aquests cavalls estan destinats a les feines de càrrega del camp o inclús per a fins gastronòmics. Vaig poder veure milers de cavalls que es passaven tot el dia menjant la herba que creix en aquesta illa durant els mesos d’estiu. La resta de l’any els cavalls han d’estar tancats en estables degut a les inclemències meterològiques que fan impossible la vida a l’aire lliure.
In Iceland you can find thousands of horses on your way. I think that in this island there are more horses than inhabitants. But it’s not the horse you know from other latitudes. The Icelandic horse is bigger than a pony but smaller than a american horse. Somebody told me that actually most of the horses in Icelend are pets for their owners in the same way in other countrys people have a cat or a dog. I don’t know if actually there are horses for working in the country or even for eating. I saw lots of horses wandering and eating grass all the day in the green fields...

Hi, very classical and very beautiful. I love his thoughtful expression, the wind through his mane, and out of focus background. Lots of clarity and sharpness. Those horses are marvellous.
