Bokeh — Lens-Artists #194

Hi all 😃 My entry for this weeks LAPC set by Sofia: Bokeh.

Working Horse Sculpture — PPAC #26

Hi all 😃 My entry for the Marsha & Cee’s Photographing Public Art Challenge, hosted this week by Marsha.

This sculpture of a working horse & handler can be found at the Falkirk Wheel. Working horses were key to industry back in the day & towed the barges along the canal, before they became motorised.
