The Kelpies

The Kelpies
I used to live very close to hear and I took this picture of the Kelpies on the opening day ten years ago. I used to walk my dog here all the time and loved walking along the river.

Thank you Jean-Paul, I have a massive archive. It's a bit embarrassing, but I love to share my pictures, otherwise why bother taking them!

Se toma cariño a los sitios donde se vive a gusto y, como acabo de decir en otro comentario, lo que te gusta se hace mejor, en este caso la fotografía del lugar, Chris.

Thank you Steve. I was lucky, more often than not the lighting is dull here.

ich wusste nicht was ein Kelpi ist - also ging ich auf die Suche
>>>Das oder der Kelpie ist ein Wassergeist im schottischen Volksglauben. Das Kelpie bewohnt die fließenden Gewässer des Hochlandes und tritt in Gestalt eines großen Pferdes, manchmal mit Fischschwanz, auf. Die Abgrenzung zwischen each uisge (schottisch-gälisch, „Wasserpferd“) und Kelpie ist unklar. Manchmal werden beide Bezeichnungen als Synonyme verwendet, einer anderen Unterscheidung zufolge bewohnt das each uisge stehende Gewässer (schottisch loch) und die schottischen Meeresküsten, das Kelpie hingegen fließende Gewässer.

Thanks aNNA. Yes you are right. The horses also pulled the canal boats between the two main cities here, so the Kelpies statues it's also a tribute to them too.

They're magnificent aren't they? I distinctly remember my first view of them. We visited again last year, it was raining instead of sunny, but I still loved them. A superb wide angle view of the area.

Thanks Christa. They are big and they tower over the local motorway, distracting drivers :)
