This is for Dale's Challenge! #1515182

So what is the story? It would only take a little "horse sense" to realize one cant' park there without dropping a quarter or two. :o)

Remember the challenge must include the story. #10572426

But what if the meter just ran out?
So guess I will look for another one. #10572503

No, this is fine, I'm just teasing. How did the horse happen to be at the curb and where is the driver? #10572579

Great find, Beth! I also wondered where the driver was. #10573398

It is good to see something very different on here and excellantly shot too.
The name on the brick building says it well Beth! #10573701

Hey guys, there was a Winterfest in Oakland, Md. this weekend, lots of ice carvings and some other activities. Pleasant Valley Dream Rides, was giving free sleigh rides up and down the main street, really beautiful horse but kind of out of place. Anyway, the fire whistles went off and the driver parked? him at the curb and tied him to the meter until the fire dept., ambulance and law enforcement went through. I just thought it was funny he was at the expired meter and wondered if he would get a ticket. The driver was close by, I'll put a few more on here.
Peter it it cool you caught the building sign. #10573838

Thanks Beth. I like the added bit about the ice furniture. #10573899

Really nice-I can tell how cold it is by the steam coming out of his nostrils. Brrr! Cute and I like the "success" sign too! #10573995

Thanks, I will try and get some of the other ice sculptures up soon. #10575517

Beth I really think your second post Old Meets New tells a story for sure. here you have modern day people trying to get a feel what it was like to travel by horse and carriage. I love how you can see the cars as well as all the actions from the horse and carriage. great shot! #10575567

Thanks Rita, there is a bunch of that in this part of Maryland. There is a large Amish community and on Sundays, you can see the horse and buggies out on the main highways. They do a lot of driving the big tractors on the main roads too. #10577077
