A year ago, we took a train to #Falkirk for a picnic lunch beside the #Kelpies. 3 May 2024.

Two enormous metal sculptures of horse heads at the bottom of the frame, one facing towards camera with ears back and the other rearing back and facing off to the right. The cloudy sky above fills the top half of the frame.

So glad we backtracked from Glasgow to #Falkirk to see The #Kelpies. Incredible. May 2024.

A monumental metal sculpture of a horse head raised to the sky, where the sun shines through the clouds. Part of the second horse head is visible behind it.

I've published all of my #TheKelpies #photography up on #flickr. Includes a few photos that I never published here.

Once dusk has given way to true darkness, the majestic #TheKelpies dominate the Scottish sky.

This is a photo of The Kelpies as dusk turns to darkness.

The Kelpies are 30 metre-high metal sculptures of two horses' heads, built as a public art installation at The Helix in Falkirk.

At night, they're illuminated from within, the lattice metalwork allowing the light to pour out.

Against the dark Scottish sky, the detail really stands out.

The sculptures change colour constantly, gradually fading into reds and blues before coming back together to be lit synchronously in white.

The light from the sculptures is so bright, it spills out to light up the specially-constructed canal lock basin that they reside within.

Tonight's shot of #TheKelpies is the other sculpture - the horse that is rearing its head.

This one is the more difficult of the two to shoot on its own. Especially if - like me - you arrive as the light is fading, and can't wander around that side of the park in the dark to safely find a flattering angle!

This is a photo of one of the horses heads that makes up The Kelpies, a public art installation in Falkirk, Scotland.

As far as I know, the two #sculpture that make up #TheKelpies don't have individual names.

I like to think of this one as the more wary of the two ... always keeping an eye on you as you wander around the park 🙂

This is a photo of one of the two sculptures that make up The Kelpies, taken at The Helix in Falkirk, Scotland.

The sculpture is of a giant horse's head and neck, rising 30 meters in the air from the ground.

The image was taken as night fell, and it captures how the sculpture is designed to show all of the lighting inside it.
