A ticket for riding

An ox cart in the nomadic part of the Ópusztaszer Memorial Park. Twice a day some riders put on period clothing from around 900 a.D. and put on a show of riding and fighting techniques that is worth the money if you have the time. To the left in the background are targets they shoot at with arrows while charging past.

I understand that these things broke all the time, which is hard to believe given how sturdy it looks. What did you do to the trees in the background to give them that hint of reddish color?
Louis: Those solid wheels did not take the rutted roads - especially when they were baked hard - very well. There are reasons why modern cars have all those ride smoothing equipment on board smile The tint is from a solid layer I slapped in - colour was a dark brown with a reddish hue - overlay and adjusted opacity. Yhanks for the comment Martin

Brilliant...not just the infra-red feel!

Perfect job, Louis. So beautifully framed. Hope you indulged youself on those fences. I know I would.
Louis: Hindsight VZ, hindsight. There were a lot of other stuff to indulge as well, but the fence definitely had the potential. There was another cart standing around in a field of poppies ...

Talk about OLD, Louis. The stories that could be told!!!

I really like the angle of this old cart. There's something about that wood deep inside of me. Maybe I lived back then....
Louis: You may be old (some call you gramma) but not THAT old - you would have been great-great-great-great-grandma at least smile Earlier today Shutterchance was acting up and I couldn't communicate - so now I am pulling the very late shift. Thanks for your comment Ginnie.

Beautiful B&W shot, the subject is interresting !
Louis: Merci m'sieur Zebigleb.
To me it looks like a painting when it comes to texture, very intersting...
Louis: It does have the feeling. Thanks for the comment Aksel.
Wow, you do not let surprise to me, Louis. Here we have an absolutely charming scene. In addition I intuit certain inspiration in the treatment to the images of Kay! Fantastic! For my it is a Likey! smile
Louis: Thank you, I am honoured Josč-Angel. Kay only work in colour. She doesn't use 'lighting' to highlight. This is more like the style of Trinity.
