Fire in the Kelpies

From above, the Kelpies look like they’re frozen mid-motion—two giant horse heads catching the last light of day as the sun drops behind the hills. The metal sculptures reflect streaks of orange and pink from the sky, while the canal below mirrors it all like glass. One Kelpie leans slightly forward, the other stretches tall, and from a drone’s view, they dominate the scene without feeling out of place. The surrounding park fades into shadow, making the sculptures and the sky feel even more vivid. It’s the kind of moment you’d want to pause—quiet, dramatic, and just a little surreal.
