This is a curve in the fence at the entry to Run and Jump Farms. This horse farm is beautiful. The manager allowed me to take photos all over the property. This is the first.....

Thank you, ladies.
It was a very bright and beautiful afternoon.
The snow had beeen windblown and partially melted to produce an icy surface.
The shadows really looked good.
