Steve Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 This blew me away when I saw it tonight. It's not my usual flying area so was amazed to see this piece of art. Apparently it's an old colliery and the horse has been made from old coal tips. [youtubevideo] [/youtubevideo] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 That's incredible! Where abouts is it? It's near Caerphilly in Wales. It's quite breathtaking when you suddenly double-take and realise that there a horse carved out of a hill. Apparently the horse is called Sultan, is 200m long and 15m high (according to Google).
