Today is Lunar New Year and it is the year of the Fire Horse. I do not have any photos of horses *on* fire (good!), or made *of* fire (which would be cool), so can I interest you in a photo of horses made *with* fire
(Cross-posted from my site: )
Taken over a decade ago, this photo is of a steel sculpture called Grandfather Cuts Loose the Ponies, by artist David Govedare, and it is located at the top of a hill near Vantage, Washington, above the Columbia River. From the interstate, and the parking area at the foot of the hill, it looks like a line of horses running along the top of the ridge. A short hike will bring you up and gives you angles like this from which to admire them.

First Impressions Artwork, The Rocks, Sydney, NSW, Australia
The sandstone relief sculpture symbolises the origins and settlement of the colony of New South Wales, by depicting elements of Sydney history in the middle of the rocks area. The Rocks is a very popular spot where locals and tourists mingle at the open-air Markets, perusing handmade fashions and street food.
This fairly large sculpture is located at the intersection of Playfair and George Street. It has three sides, with a figure or figures carved into each side. Very popular spot for pictures. Each side represents a particular group of people that established themselves in Sydney early on: The Convicts, The Settlers, and The Soldier.
"First Impressions" was commissioned by the Sydney Cove Redevelopment Authority in 1979.

He was really interested in the movement of the water, the energy, the changing surface reflections. You really see that in both his sculptures, where he transformed solid wood into this fluid sometimes turbulent, sometimes placid water, as well as in his pastel and charcoal drawings
