This young horse with a great fuzzy mane lives on the North Sea island of Rügen, just off the north coast of Germany.

Each brick is individually painted and the windows and doors have lots of detail themselves. I often recommend taking photos from a slight angle to the front of the house to make a more interesting composition but I hope you agree that face-on perspective can make an interesting house portrait too!
