HIS FOREST "When the earth was young
And the air was sweet
And the mountains kissed the sky
In the great beyond, with its many paths
Man and nature lived side by side..."

You know what.
I am completely speechless. This is so amazing! I'm freaking out, which is probably a bad thing considering these hotel walls are really thin. I have a funny story about that, BUT ANYWAYS.
Dude, I owe you SO much. This is really, really amazing. I suck with words and you know it, so hopefully you get what I feel. ;-;
Thank you so much. <44444444444444444444444

If you hadn't uploaded that wonderful stock image I don't
think this would have been created. That pose was absolutely
perfect! I should be the one thanking you!

hehee, anytime hun! I'm just sad I didn't sneak away with that stallion and give him a happier life, with lots of love and photoshoots.. sigh. Unfortunately I don't think I'll ever get to see him again, but I so happy that I can see him through my pictures and what amazing artists like you make with them!

I seriously thought this was by Devils-Horison when I saw the colour scheme, and then I was like 'HOLY CRAP THAT'S MY WIFE 
I'm not overdramatising when I say I cannot find the words to express how much I adore this, and you.
