more pictures from VIEX day 1

log skid competition i love demonstrations of "exotic" working skills, and here's one: horses are still used in today's logging operations, so it's not a completely dead art. this is the first series of action shots i've taken that actually came out well, thanks to the horses moving relatively slowly. :) next i should clearly work on depth of field (i know how to fake it in photoshop, but am too lazy for all that work today). clicking on the image leads to more pictures with explanations.

That was fun and interesting. And it did make me think that the all-terrain robot, with a fair bit of strength and some basic AI, is probably going to look a lot like a horse.

Man, I love draft horses. *So* mellow and easy-going. I'm probably buying one for a "guest horse" when I get a horse for myself in a couple months.

Neat pix. I always like to see working animals (and humans) doing the things they're good at.

Man. I haven't been to a county fair (that does this sort of thing) in /way/ too long. Thanks.

Oh! I love draft horses, mostly because of their size. I love looking up into their beautiful faces, and wonder at how they work *for us* so kindly, and how they dig sweating and pushing and heaving huge stones for a fair.
