Horses, just horses--sans riders, saddles, and bridles--unless they're in a stall, it's not something you see anymore. But this is precisely what Tony Stromberg, equine photographer extraordinaire, gives us. He photographs these graceful animals in a pure and natural way that no other photographer can match. And now, his most beautiful shots are collected in one breathtaking photo book: Horses. Whether they're in stalls, in the paddock, or in fields and woods-Stromberg employs a perfect balance between light and shadow, unique composition, and a superlative feel for the right moment to make these majestic animals come alive, creating an authentic homage to a glorious creature. However, his pictures go far beyond merely depicting horses' beauty. Stromberg, a former advertising photographer, had his first encounters with horses in the 1990s at a time when he was suffering from terrible burnout himself. But in these gentle companions, he found in his words, teachers and soulmates who helped him regain a sense of peace. The deep connection to horses he has built since then is clearly evident in his photos, which is what makes them so special.

La Sierra de Guadarrama, por su situación privilegiada próxima al centro de la Península Ibérica, se convierte en un lugar de gran atractivo forestal donde se dan cita muchos árboles de temperamento dispar. La encina, el enebro de miera y el fresno caracterizan el piedemonte, mientras que el rebollo predomina en las laderas. Hay arboles mas propios del sur, como el alcornoque, en tanto por el norte llegan el roble albar, el haya, el acebo, el alamo temblon, los abedules, los serbales y los mostajos. Por el este calizo llegan el quejigo y la sabina albar. No faltan el pino pudio y el pino negral, entre otros. Ademas, aqui se halla una de las mejores representaciones ibericas de pino albar.
