Surprise!
Posted by Leena (Joensuu, Finland) on 9 October 2008 in Animal & Insect.
I was driving yesterday in the sunny countryside very carefully because of elks.
Suddenly in the middle of road stood a big brown animal - I managed to stop my car and realized, that the animal was not an elk but a horse even
- two horses!
Cars stopped and horses run back and forth.
It took half an hour before they went away from the road with their owner !
I did not seen elks and that was a good thing !
Thank you very much for your visits and comments !

@magiceye: Thanks for your comment !
Sorry, I changed the photo because of too it`s bad guality. This is a little better, but does not tell
from a situation as well as the first one.
Using today my laptop I can not know, what kind the photo really is, hopefully not too bad :)
@vaggelis vlahos: But the happening was a little dangerous to horses and to a traffic!
Thanks for stopping by!

@Liisa: Muistan laulun ! Ja villeiksi nämä muuttuivat tosiaan siinä autojen välissä poukkoillessaan.
Kiitos kommentistasi, Liisa!

I'm glad the owner showed up! but being careful to avoid an elk is not something we would consider around here . . .

Great shot. I love the view through the trees. Glad they weren't injured by a passing motorist!

I knew there was a reason for always having a camera handy. Good job you had yours Leena. Very interesting shot, one you do'nt see every day. Good capture.

So happy you were able to capture this delightful sight. It seems the poor horses couldn't decide which way to go. An elk at the rutting season would not have been a good mix.

Great shot Leena. Bit scary finding horses on the road. When I was staying at my sisters recently we went out for tea and driving back in the dark ran across a herd of forty deer on the road that to was about half and hour of rounding up and getting them back in the paddock quite tricky in the pitch dark

Excellent find for this beautiful capture. I love the horses being in opposite direction behind the layer of birch trees.

Leena, this is soooo kewl! You should look at Bev Doolittles art works. I believe thats her name, but this photo really reminds me of her art. I absolutely love this one. Its one of my fav since I just adore horses!
