Last week we visited some of the most amazing historical places on the planet. This week the focus is a little more earthy as we visit some of the most spectacular natural places around the globe.

In my searches to find beautiful photography of the equine nature I often run across rare treats. A spectacular new perspective on something so very common and ordinary.

Whether it is growing, stacked in bales or being ground between huge molars, hay is the lifeblood of many rural cultures & communities.
