Description
How many horses can you see in this image?
When I saw these two prancing horses, while scouting the sculptures in Borrego Springs, I immediately knew that I had to capture them with their galactic cousin, the Dark Hores Nebula.
The Dark Horse Nebula is a collection of dark nebulae near the galactic center that resemble the side silhouette of a prancing horse. It is part of the Great Rift, a dark gap that splits the band of the Milky Way in half, starting at the Northern Cross and extending all the way down to the “Teapot” of Sagittarius in the south.
The Dark Horse Nebula in this image is facing the prancing horse sculpture, like a smaller morror image. Its back is partially hidden by the head of the horse on the left, to make the answer to the introductory question a bit less obvious.
