Ponies standing in the shade, Parkhill, New Forest. These ponies are hiding from the midday heat by standing in the shady woodland, gathered around a dying oak tree. The older ponies can ignore my presence, but the foal with the white blaze looks at the camera for a long time. Taking a photo in the deep shade requires a slower shutter speed which has blurred the white mare's swishing tail (trying to keep flies away). The open woodland, with its complete lack of ground cover and low hanging branches is largely a result of high grazing pressure from the ponies.
