In this photo print, we are transported to the enchanting village of San Bartolome de Pinares in northwest Madrid, Spain. The image captures a moment of anticipation and tranquility as horses gather in a stable before the annual Luminarias celebration on the eve of Saint Anthony's day, Spain's patron saint of animals. The dimly lit interior of the animal shed creates an atmosphere that is both mysterious and comforting. Soft light filters through small openings, casting gentle shadows on the rustic walls. The horses stand patiently, their majestic presence illuminated by flickering candlelight. Surrounded by nature's beauty and nestled within a rural landscape, these domesticated creatures exude grace and strength. Their muscular bodies hint at their readiness for work or play while their calm demeanor suggests a deep bond with their human companions. As we observe this scene devoid of people but filled with equine energy, our imagination wanders to what lies beyond those stable doors. We can almost hear the distant sound of hooves echoing against cobblestone streets as villagers prepare for festivities honoring Saint Anthony. Juan Medina skillfully captures this timeless moment where tradition meets modernity – where centuries-old customs intertwine with contemporary life. Through his lens, he invites us into a world where animals hold sacred significance and communal celebrations ignite joyous spirits. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to humanity's enduring connection with animals – one that transcends language barriers and cultural boundaries. It reminds us to cherish our bond with nature and honor those
