"Dust & Fog"

Chilly and crisp Spring mornings in the vast Great Basin desert of Utah, USA often present you with a thick layer of fog just above the ground, creating an ethereal landscape.

There, approximately 300 American wild horses roam free beating the odds of survival in the harsh desert plains.

But before feeling the ground shaking or the noise of pounding hooves, you may witness a single Mustang emerging from within the fog, almost as if a curtain has suddenly opened. So beautiful, almost unreal.
