Tjörn - Island, Horses and nice People

We had a great weekend!

We went to the Island "Tjörn", north of Gothenburg.

The bridge is impressive!

Everything about he trip was impressive.

We didn't have a chance to do much sight seeing,

so I just made some pictures along the way,

most of them out of the car window...

The fotoshoot for Carola was great.

All together I shot a little over 1800 pics that day!

We had a warm welcome at the stable where

Carola was already treating some horses.

Before lunch Carola gave some riding lessons,

nice looking horses and smiling riders make every photographer happy!

Then it was time for lunch!

Maria fixed a fantastic tuna salad.

Afer that we had home made (by Maria's Mother) Buttercream Cake

- I need to get the recipe -

and strong coffee!

:)

The afternoon was filled with some more horsework and riding lessons...

I just needed to withstand the (strong) wind and keep my finger at the shutter button!

Maria and her (huge) swedish coldblood (nordsvensk) "Buster"

This breed is normally not bigger then 1,50 - 1,60 m,

Buster is over 1,70!!

He's not just a big horse, he also got a huge heart...

Buster at work!

I was told that he is 20 years old, he looks fantastic for his age.

He used to work in the woods pulling logs...

I bet he could tell many interesting stories.

Sorry, I didn't get your name..!?
