Lightning bolts, cloud to ground striking the front range foothills of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. A view of the Twin Peaks, Mount Meeker 13,911? and Longs Peak 14,256? in the distance and the DIA blue Mustang Bronco Horse Sculpture rearing.
Composite manipulated image. Have not done one in a while. Maybe one day I will go out there and get the real deal, but I had this in my head and had to get it out
The Sculpture was done by Luis Jiménez and he was was known for his large polychromed fiberglass sculptures usually of Southwestern and Hispanic themes. His works were often controversial and eminently recognizable because of their themes and the bright, colorful undulating surfaces that Jiménez employed.
He was killed in his studio on June 13, 2006 when a large section of Blue Mustang, intended for Denver International Airport, fell on him and severed an artery in his leg. The sculpture was based on the eight-foot-high sculpture Mesteño (Mustang), now on display at the University of Oklahoma. (Wikipedia)
