About this series:

The photos of this series were taken by Lorien in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada on August 2, 2004. On our day trip that day we saw (aside from the magnificent flowers park by the city hall) a huge life size sculpture. After reading on the net, that's what we've learned:

The Red Deer Downtown Business Association (DBA) boasts an internationally renowned Bronze Art collection in Downtown Red Deer, Alberta. The Ghost project is sponsored and managed by the DBA and is an amazingly unique and fascinating program. The Ghost Project depicts the history of the community and offers audiences one of the largest life-size bronze sculpture collections in Canada. The Ghost sculptures are forever growing in popularity and attract thousands of inquisitive travelers every year (Experience Downtown Red Deer).

The one we saw was on the south side of the City Hall Park, in front of the Children's Library. It depicts volunteer fire fighters harness the team to answer the fire bell. The intensity of the moment is reflected in the expressions of the men and the taut muscles of the horses.

This series was converted to B & W and processed, to try and capture the spirit of the moment. Click the left thumbnail to start the viewing.
