The Horse Tamer at Night


I photographed this statue May 4 during the day. Tonight I was driving home and went past the park and was stunned to see that it was illuminated.  It was absolutely striking, to see this brilliant white statue against the black background of the park  What a wonderful surprise.  This statue is called the "Horse Tamer" and is a copy of the Marly Horses commissioned by Louis XIV in Paris in 1649 and now located at the Louvre.  This statue was actually brighter white than this photograph shows - I wish you could see it in real life.
