Monochrome madness: Farm Animals

And where am I supposed to find any farm animals to photograph here in the depths of rural France? Oh, wait…

Shetland ponies may not be everyone’s first idea of a farm animal, but one of our neighbours breeds horses (and a few cattle, but that’s almost compulsory in these parts) for a living. For a while, he also owned this small group of Shetland ponies, which were kept in a field less than a quarter of a mile from our house (aka Brokedown Palace).

One day they just disappeared and he’s never replaced them, but at least I was able to capture them tucking into a large bale of winter feed in that – at the time, very muddy field.
