Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach him to
use the Net and he won't bother you for weeks.

So, how did you get the thumbnail to be upside down? Are you sure you aren't in New Zealand? laugh.gif

Posted that from my iPad...maybe I had my pad turned around??  But when I click on it the pic displays ok!?!  Or maybe it is still 'reading' the photo on my pad?!!
Either way I haven't a clue (so what else is new...)

On the bright side you're not back home in Minnesota with all the flooding!  Thinking.gif

No problem with displaying the actual image! It's a beautiful picture! wink.gif I guess in such a small country, they need small horses? And they're probably easier to bring into the house when the whole island (except for the volcanoes) freeze solid! laughhard.gif

If the Mighty Muddy is as high up there as it is here, there's not much room for new water! But it's still in its banks, at least. Be careful up there! eek2.gif

Ain't 'up there'...am over there.... Over there being Iceland (for now). Leaving for Norway in about an hour.

Well, you're already much, much closer to Reykjavik than Bob is when he's home, why don't you just drive over there and buy a couple of those beauties?! You'll need to check Google Maps for the best driving instructions...

I did!  I bought 4 of them a few years' back.  Shipping them cost thousands back to UK.

They fly from Keflavik to Liege, Brussels then ferried to UK and driven up to Aberdeen, then ferried to Lerwick where I collect them.
