This post is a collection of horses photos that I took during a trip to Europe (and in this case Vienna, Austria) half an year ago. We did not try any horse-drawn carriage tours when we were there. Simply witnessed those beautiful creatures moving around downtown Vienna, carrying tourists that pay to be watched and shoot pictures by passengers. I did not do any research about if those horses feel happy or are treated well and etc., but I acknowledge that it's part of the culture of this historical city. So, I am not encouraging anyone to jump on these carriages when you are visiting Vienna. Just share how this city demonstrate herself and it is truly a unique and fantastic city!
又開始整理起歐洲相片。這篇是我在維也納時,把關於馬跟馬車的照片都集結一起的分享。維也納是個歷史感豐富的城市,觀光馬車的保留,更是讓人回到中世紀的感覺。我們沒有嘗試搭乘,只是到處都看到馬車在維也納市區繞行,上面載著付錢被人觀賞與拍照的觀光客,哈哈!沒有研究,不知道馬兒們是不是有被好好對待,但我知道這是文化的一部份,只能希望這文化的保存,不以動物福祉為代價囉!所以,不是鼓勵大家下次到維也納時去搭乘,只是讓你看看這城市的文化風貌,似乎可以窺見,皇宮盛大舉辦宴會時,皇室貴族們從各地搭乘馬車來赴約的盛況呢!
It is not entirely true that horses in Vienna only draw carriages around the city ... here is the Proof of Capability.
維也納的馬兒們,也不是全部都在拉馬車載客,你看,這一隻就不一樣,牠還會別的賺錢活兒呢!^^
Here is a short video by me converted to gif. My first gif trial in my Steemit blogging history. Just to see the horses move. _
