Another visit to the Kelpies

It was the second time I'd seen those giant horse head sculptures: the Kelpies. The Kelpies were the first stop on our 9-day tour of the Highlands and Islands. Even though I'd seen the sculptures before, they were still impressive. I tried to figure out how to take pictures that were different from the ones I took two years ago when I first saw them.
