Photo from my 2015 archive.

The photo was then handed over to the people involved.

Carriage ride established for charity, but 2015

All carriages ride out of solidarity, unpaid.

The charity story begins in November 2014, when Wolfram's syndrome was diagnosed with the then 6-year-old Victor, grandson of Dr. Marianne Van De Kerckhove and Dr. Ludo Vanden Bussche. 1 in 500,000, that is the chance that you have it .... “Victor now has type 1 diabetes and is visually impaired. In addition to blindness, most patients also develop hearing loss, balance disorders and their life expectancy is drastically reduced, "says Marianne. “Worldwide scientists are looking for a treatment for this disease. The research is already a long way off, but extra money is needed for more research. The family established the "Eye hope foundation" for this.

I hope that you enjoy it

Hallo John,
Een bijzonder triestig verhaal bij deze charmante foto.
Hopelijk dragen de ingezamelde fondsen goed bij tot het vinden van een oplossing voor de zeldzame ziekte.
Paard, koets en beide personen zijn perfect scherp in beeld gebracht.
Het vele groen zorgt voor een mooie achtergrond.
Vele groeten, Paul

Hello John,
You have shown several similar photos before, but maybe not this particular carriage. It is nice that such carriages have been saved and kept in a good shape, and the coachman and his passenger are both nicely dressed for the occasion in a traditional way. The horse is of course the most beautiful individual here. You met them in a nice place with a fine green background.
Best regards,
Gert

pierrefonds (114422) 2021-05-22 12:50

Hi John,

You have capture well the movement of the carriage and the happiness of the riders. The point of view is showing the details of the horse and of the carriage. The light is giving good colors rendering. Have a nice day.

Hi John
I have this feeling.
We started off with a beautiful misunderstanding.
And have we reached a disastrous understanding!
And communicate in silence , silence in words.
We now know each other better than I know myself.
Goed weekend.

ChrisJ (171822) 2021-05-23 3:42

Hallo John,

Superb use of a shallow dof with good sharpness on the moving horse and carriage. Excellent colour, saturation and framing with both the seated woman and the man at the reins enjoying the ride. Tfs!

jean113 (27853) 2021-05-23 7:54

Hello John, the couple look happy to be out driving this carriage.
It is beautifully sharp even though they must be moving, no blur at all.
Excellent work.
Kind regards, Jean.

ktanska (44758) 2021-05-23 9:41

Hi John,
Quite stylish two wheel horse cart. And style goes also with the horse, driver and passenger. You have just right angle and green background looks nice. Very interesting note too.

Hi John,
I remember seeing more carriage rides in your gallery before. I am always very impressed with their clarity and sharpness. Every time I try to take a photo of a carriage passing by it comes out not sharp. May be I have to use shorter time. Also here a great outcome with everything crispy sharp.
Horse marches elegantly and people have nice poses.
Excellent work,
M

Hi John
now who wouldn't want to go for a ride? haha, what a fun moment this must be. it looks upscale and expensive, even the interior seat cushion looks expensive. the man up top is a great addition, as is the green color bg for contrast
cheers

heel mooi om te zien en prachtig in beeld gebracht

Royaldevon (85932) 2021-05-24 8:14

Hello John,

This seems like a very worthwhile charity!
The selfless contributions of these people is exemplary.

For you, it made the most interest subject for a photograph. You have captured the horse, the carriage and the people with excellent clarity. The only slight blurring is the on the horse's hooves, which you would expect, the movement blur explaining the swift trot.
What a lovely setting, too!

The b/g greenery frames the details beautifully!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hallo John,
Een heel mooie foto van paard-en-wagen hier met daarbij een koetsier en een passagier die er beide prachtig gekleed uitzien. Mooi scherpte en een aangename groene achtergrond.

Hello John,
You captured the carriage in motion perfectly. I like the way the rider and driver are smiling, and the carriage itself is very nice. The horse is also elegant, and the focus is sharp. Take care!

ikeharel (113319) 2021-05-26 2:33

Hi John.
Sad story of this child, I suppose that this charming vintage carriage and its adorned owners, attend some event to raise funds for science and find medication, the moment very well captured,
Sharpness, lighting and color are perfect.
Very well done. I like it.
You have a good day. Very best regards.
Luis.

Dear John,

Now, that's what I call an original method of transport. I really like the smile on the gent's face.

Best Wishes,
Gy.

Hi John
A lovely shot of this very cute horse carriage - never seen before. Like point of view you have chosen, now that is the civilized way to travel! Great shot
Best regards

fotka (8993) 2021-08-16 6:37

Hello John
In southern Wisconsin north from where I live is a small colony of Amish people. They try to live as their parents, grandparents lived many years ago. Instead of cars they use the carriages similar to yours only black and the coach sits inside instead of standing outside.
Great pov of passing carriage as well as colors, light and sharpness.
Best regards,
Zbigniew

Hello John,
That's a cute one! It's the two-seater, yes the Mazda Miata version, of carriages.
