Mongolia, 2007
"If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins." - Benjamin Franklin
The prompt this Theme Thursday is reason. And so this wise quote l found lead me to post a befitting photo of Mongolian horsemen in traditional garb galloping to the Naadam Festival in the wilderness of Hovd province.
What a great action image Francisca. I've enjoyed catching up on the photos I've missed since my last visit.

So there you are in Mongolia, quoting Benjamin Franklin. My goodness, Francisca, I can barely wrap my brain around the idea. A wonderful stop-action photo and a great quote... thanks for posting both!

P.S. Old Ben didn't say how tightly the reins should be held. I'll bet there could be a lot of interesting debate on that one :)
ReplyDeleteI like the photo, Francisca. YOu surely have been to some fascinbating places.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo.
ReplyDeletesounds, and looks, reasonable to me!
ReplyDeleteit is a great balancing act...passion by itself can be rather wild and lead you to places that reason may save you from...happy tt!
ReplyDeleteFabulous shot! Love the composition and the motion feeling.
ReplyDeletegreat pic Francisca, and the quote too!!
ReplyDeletehappy TT
Is it true they have races against neighboring families, sort of like an initiation for young children? Love the movement in the photo :D
ReplyDeleteLovely picture! And of course, you need reason to hold the reins because passion might take it away! Happy TT
