18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
The Great Escape

From this bridge in Pucon, Chile, you can see three volcanoes at one time. As we approached the center of the bridge on foot, we heard a fast-paced clippety clop and metal dragging on the pavement. We looked over the bridge and saw these two horses approaching us from the other side dragging their halters behind them. A mounted pursuer soon followed to deprive them of their short lived freedom. Please note that the horses obeyed all applicable traffic rules and stayed strictly on the right side of the road.
