The Water and Stuff ~ Color Crazy Challenge ~ Just for Fun Challenge (sky) ~Color Crazy Challenge (B & W)

I decided to take on Kim’s Challenge.

On Sunday, the first stops to take photos were Whitford, South East Auckland. Here are some photos over the area, It includes 3 car stops.

Curiosity , so I take a stop to see where a road leads, see things most conventional people don’t go. Hence, see so much of my own city. More than some may see. Yet, there is much more to view and see…

#1 Whitford Road

At the top of the road, you see this view, of the Waitemata Harbour.

  Yes, if only that Sheep, I believe a Ewe could talk. It could tell me quite a few stories.

I love the silvery water in this. The boats weren’t toys after all!

  Thanks Kim, the boats are real. Locals get to the boats with a dingy or inflatable

#4 Whitford town

Not a big town but this was one view. Excellent cafe close to where I took this shot.

#5 By Road, Whitford

Probably not supposed to be here. It's fields of horses, race horses, the sport of Kings. A horse float is facing me.

It is dangerous for animals. Horses are scary animals.

  Yes, it is always dangerous for animals. Most people love their horses and treat them well but there are those who just breed them for money.
  Horses can be very dangerous but if you show them who is boss but understand them as well you can also have a good friend.
Kim_Johnson says:

Boy, they have a great place for the horses. I see they spare no expense.

  Horses can earn a lot of money but it is a game of chance. Its not called the sport of kings for nothing

  Yes, not many people living around here would know it was here but beautiful place.

The fence is to keep horses safe. Wise choice these fences, better than barbed wire. Horses live here

And be higher. These are just small obstacles for trained horses.

  They could jump the fence but won’t if they are happy to stay inside the fence.
Kim_Johnson says:

February 6, 2018 at 1:48 pm

You surely wouldn’t want them getting stuck at low tide.

  So true Kim, it would be hard to get them out of there

#7 Straight out to the Waitemata Harbour

Quite a scenic place. You have to have lots of money. People with horses breed them and sell them at Karaka Horse sales where fortunes are made.

The horse can be born and then run straight into a fence, they are breed to go on the race track. Some of these horses are smarter than others.

And between them there are differences in their intellect. Like us.

So true, some horses are very bright.
