Urban pony

Here’s another photo from Friday when I went to Weston Shore. If you’re wondering why you’ve never heard of this south coast beach ‘resort’ before, it’s probably because it’s sandwiched between an oil-refinery and a relatively intimidating, brutalist sink estate – I think the tourist guides knock off stars for that.

I bet this pony is as hard as nails and probably carries a flick-knife, does his mane in a quiff on Saturday nights and smokes Rothmans. I didn’t get too close.

    I love the combo of pony, flowers and wow, urban life? Right up close. Great juxtaposition!

    Yeah. And I bet he rolls those cigarettes up in his t-shirt sleeve.

    And he probably has a tattoo.

    Hilarious. I love the composition of your photo, too.
