We were walking down after climbing the "Bola del Mundo", a high mountain in Madrid, and suddenly a wild horse crossed our way in the still open forest. It was a kind of magic apparition. He stopped for a second after crossing our path and I was able to rapidly shot this photo. Picasso used to say that "the inspiration does exists, but it has to find you at work". Well, good scenes does exists as well, but they have to find you with your camera hanging from your neck.
