Vantage Point

This horse is part of a group of Wild Horses monument that graces a hilltop in Vantage, Washington, just off of Interstate 90, overlooking the Columbia River.

Accessible only from the eastbound side of the interstate, it's easily missed as we've passed by it at least fifty times without even knowing it was there.

I don't know how I missed sixteen iron horses on the hill, but I guess it's because most of the time I'm looking down at the bridge crossing the river while at the same time keeping at eye on the edge of the pavement.

I have no desire to go careening into the gorge.

A friend of mine took a picture of these horses some time ago and I loved them so much that she sent me prints and I framed and hung them on my wall.

This makes my night to see this.
