It is all rather amazing isn't it? Best photos I've seen too

I was totally unconvinced when the horses' heads were first mooted, but they look much better in reality.

Fascinating.

havent been down since the land around was a building site but its finished now,passing on the motorway (m9) the heads are red lit from within and clear lit from the outside.There are still sections being built including a playpark,and visitor centre-great place to cycle or even roller skate!!.Same goes here my wife wonders how many pictures you can take of the heads!!!
