Stranded horses in Holland













In this picture, rescue workers use small boats to evacuate trapped horses on a small piece of land in Marrum, Netherlands, Wednesday, Nov. 1, 2006.

Rescue workers were trying to save a herd of around 100 horses Thursday, Nov. 2, 2006, that have been stranded on a tiny knoll since a fierce storm threatened to submerge them two days ago, in an incident that has transfixed the nation. Many of the animals have spent two nights knee-deep in water, and 18 have drowned. Posted by Picasa
