The Kelpies
The Kelpies are a pair of 30-meter-tall horse head sculptures located in Falkirk, Scotland. These magnificent structures are a tribute to the heavy horses that once worked the nearby canals and farms. The Kelpies have become a popular tourist attraction and a favorite subject for photographers. The sculptures are particularly striking at night when they are illuminated, creating a dramatic and otherworldly atmosphere. The surrounding area also offers many great photography locations, including the nearby Falkirk Wheel, the Forth and Clyde Canal, and the stunning Scottish countryside.
Mono shot from the Kelpies art installation in Falkirk. They really are something else up close and when lit up.
Title was inspired by the UB40 song which just seemed to fit for me : youtu.be/lNIRBvZugTM
From the Kelpies, title is a play around with the Carlsberg lager ad line but replaced with Cyberdyne Systems from the Terminator films.
