Horsemen by the Sea I

One day at the shoreline I was shooting gulls. Then a group of 3 horsemen passad along. I quickly changed my camera AF settings and focussed on the footprints in the sand before they would disappear in the water again. I snapped away a few pictures and this one came out best.

Horsemen by the sea II

About the last thing you expect to see when you go to the beach to swim (and take some underwater photos) is to see horses in the nearby hills. The blue sky offered the best background for them.
