A Royal Air of Sophistication

The picture above is from a Facebook page that is dedicated to Reno, Nevada titled
Reno InstaGrammys. The picture was posted about four weeks ago, so the setting is wintery
storms with wild horses. One of the horses is silhouetted while the left horse is giving off finer
details. The caption for it was Horses If God made anything more beautiful, he kept it for
himself. Author Unknown.
The purpose of this picture, to me, states that animals are a magnificent work of art. With
the clouds in the background a dull gray it adds to the focus on the two horses directly. Yet, the
horses are not fully in view, which adds a bit more of a mystery. Most people on Earth know
what a horse looks like. It is a four-legged animal, has a tail that is long, hooves are their feet,

and they have a long nose that is distinct with eyes on the side and ears that tend to be small and
pointed upwards towards the sky.
Horses are incredible creatures that scream majestic and royal. They are the animals
associated with royalty and class. The horses in the picture above have no reins, saddles, or
riders. These horses are out in the open and free. The picture dictates the fact that freedom is
their natural habitat, where they belong. There is grace and an air of sophistication with the two
animals and they seem at peace.
The picture should stir about feelings of serenity and majesty since the typical word
associated with horses is majestical. The stormy sky in the background adds to the power that
these horses hold within their name. One wrong move of fear or anger and these horses have no
mercy. They hold force and power within them. Sophistication does not always mean benevolent.
