Little Old Men - B&W Photo Contest ~ Animals
When I spottet this horse on a bikeride on the beautiful dutch island Texel, I instantly thought of Little Old Man. Who knows Little Old Man? Those who who have heard of the famous childs book character Pippi Longstocking from the swedish author Astrid Lindgren! Pippi Longstocking, her monkey pet Mr. Wilson and her horse Little Old Man used to live together in her house.
This is the strophe of her song in german, that come to my mind everytime I see this photo:
Ich hab' ein Haus,
ein kunterbuntes Haus
ein Äffchen und ein Pferd,
die schauen dort zum Fenster raus.
Ich hab' ein Haus,
ein Äffchen und ein Pferd,
und Jeder, der uns mag,
kriegt unser 1 x 1 gelehrt.
Anyway! Long story short 😄, this is my second contribution to the #bwphotocontest initiated by @daveks.

Wow! This is an outstanding photo! Very beautiful and attractive. I have to start to learn to take black and white photo. The horse looks amazing in contrasting shades and spots.
Cheers.
