Get Off Your High Horse

This One's Older Than Most Thoroughbreds

This shot was taken on Princes Highway, just after the Glenferrie Road turnoff and before the Caulfield underpass. It's an old Melbourne landmark, perched high above an old-style shop on the street strip. I just rocked up, asked the owner if I could photograph the horse and he told me to go ahead. The blue sky complemented the paintwork perfectly. And, fittingly enough, the old horse is not far from historic Caulfield racecourse.
