Horse and Cart in Motion

A horse and cart drives past in Killarney National Park.

As I was strolling through the serene beauty of Killarney National Park, a horse and cart leisurely passed by. I couldn’t resist capturing this moment, and so I snapped a photo of the horse and cart using a slightly longer shutter time.

I love the resulting image. The soft light filtering through the leaves and branches of the trees creates an ethereal effect, with wavy lines adding an almost mystical quality to the scene. Most of the picture is a blur, of course, but the horse’s legs are a blur of motion, capturing the essence of its steady trot through the park.

A horse-drawn carriage in Chicago

A horse drawn carriage in Chicago.

Twenty years ago on the streets of Chicago I saw a carriage being pulled by a horse and a bored driver.

Today I learned while looking up more information about these trips that Chicago banned horse drawn carriages in 2021. Prices seemed to range from $120/hour up past $500/hour.
