This strange but beautiful story took place in Tarifa spin when i was staying at a friend of mines house, it’s at the top of tariff with all the big fans & old city still staying to stay old, you can see the sea and the city from where i am, the drive up to her house makes you fill like you are immediately transported in time, life seem simple and so beautiful people work hard up here, farming and razing live stock in the main income around here.
This particle day was a Sunday i think, it had been raining all day and it had stopped so i decided take walk with my camera, i had seen some houses on my way up running free and when i asked my friend about she told me “They were free yet not free” they are free yet not free? They farmers own them and let them go to mate, yes i will get back to my story! From a distance i could hear the sound of their calls, as i had go down the road i could see the hard lead by white stallion.
Soon as any of them decided to make a move i stopped and played dead. Slowly yet surly one by one they came to smell me, and check me out. They would all first stamp their feet and puff at me even but i did not make one movement, only keep holing my camera trigger down, that’s not until a mare decided to sniff me out, as he got closer and closer my soul was filled with such a feeling of peace and i was filled with the beauty of life.
It’s a feeling i can’t put in to words, one needs to experience it.
I slowly started to lift my hand out to her, then she bent down to me as if she was trying to touch me too!
After this incident i felt like i had the trust of the heard so i felt i was given a bit more and more. Then i so there was an older brown hoarse must be the ex-boss, now enjoying his last days ruining the hills of tariff. I got so close to him that i was now touching hiss how’s, he was so with me in that moment that i stood up and hugged him, when i say hugged him i truly did hugs him, just like i will hugs any one of you. Then all i could think of is i want a photo of this moment and just like that i could see my friend come down the hill to walk her dog, i slowly crawled out to and asked her to take a photo me, the last two imagers are taken by her.
So hope you all enjoyed reading that magical moment of mine, do look at the photographs now and hope it presses together the information i may have left out.
