Horses in the Highlands

Photograph by Charlotte Goss , National Geographic Your Shot

A great cloud of dust formed in the distance as we drove through the deserted Icelandic highlands, writes Your Shot member Charlotte Goss . We stopped the car and seized our cameras as the herd of Icelandic horses sped toward us. They watched us as we watched them, each of us surprised by the others presence. It was over in seconds, yet forever frozen with a single click.
