This photo was taken in Batu Ferringhi in the late-afternoon sun with the warm light illuminating the right side of the horse and owner, and creating a softer tone. On the beaches of Penang there are heaps of water-sports available: Jet Skiing, Paragliding, Banana Rides, etc; or you could ride along the beach on horse back. So this pair (in the photo) were nearly always waiting at the front gate of my hotel :) .

I was in the Netherlands in September 2009 for a short time, and managed to fill my CF-Card with a few hundred photographs. This shot was taken opposite the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, I thought it would turn out nicely with the yellow window eves and wooden canal boat with ‘Amsterdam’ written on the stern.
