This image was taken up in high country on the Molesworth Station, New Zealand's largest working faarm.  The horses are used for mustering, but when not in use are free to roam where they like.  We happened to come across them and they were very curious.  To get this photo, I'm on the road, then there's a bit of a bank and they are on top of that, hence the perspective of me looking up.  In front of them are the Blue Borage flowers that are everywhere, in fact the fields just looked like a sea of blue/purple in some place.  The bees make great honey from it.
