Reader, Ulrika Kestere sent me her photographic essay The Girl with the 7 Horses. I love it! The images, the idea and fairytale story behind it:
Once upon a time there was a girl who had 7 invisible horses. People thought she was crazy and that she in fact had 7 imaginative horses, but this was not the case. When autumn came the girl spent a whole day washing all her clothes. She hung them on a string in her garden to let the gentle autumn sun dry them. Out of nowhere, a terrible storm came and its fiercefull winds grabbed a hold of all her clothes and all seven horses (authors note: since they are invisible they obviously didn't weigh much). The girl was devistated and spent all autumn looking for each horse spread around the country, wrapped in her clothes.
Be sure to stop by Ulrika's blog to see the other 3 horses.
love her imagination, and her author's note. they are like amazing dream states.
