ALT Wildlife photograph of two wild mares walking toward the camera across open, dusty ground near the Dreamcatcher Wild Horse and Burro Sanctuary in northern Lassen County, California. Warm, hazy sunlight filters through lingering morning fog behind the horses, creating a soft, glowing backlit effect. The horses' coats, one darker brown and one lighter tan, are illuminated along their edges by the diffused light. The muted, foggy background gives the scene an ethereal, atmospheric quality. Northern Lassen County, California.
