Although this is not by any means a contemporary photograph, it's a photograph that I am always drawn to whenever I see it. I think it is particularly effective in its contrast... the white of the snow picks out the black of the horse, and also the railings. Also, I think it's a very quaint, 'moment in time' picture... and it conveys an era that is now in the past. I may however be immensely biased towards this picture because it was taken by a Whitby photographer, and so has some sentimental value...
