Who hasn’t dreamed of riding through a frosty winter night on an old wooden sleigh pulled behind a pair of strong black steeds? For many children the dream came true at Bozeman’s Christmas Stroll this past December. Santa rode through town on a sleigh pulled by a team of sharp-looking Percherons, joined by a smiling group of Bozeman youth. The steeds did their job well, calmly pulling their charges through the crowds to celebrate the lighting of the downtown Christmas decorations.
Softening the focus of this image allows for a bit of an “olde-tyme” feel to the picture and draws the focus from the busy background to the pair of horses. Temperatures had dropped well below freezing the night of the stroll and the horse’s breath fogged beautifully in the cold air. Take away a few “modern” bits of the image and you very well could be transported one hundred years back!
