The Horses and The Machete Wielder

At dusk, I spotted these horses. They were next to a beautiful field that I wanted to photograph. I went over for a little visit and they came toward me, very curious.
As I was visiting with them, a truck stopped, on the narrow road next to where I was. There was a big piece of leafy bamboo that was leaning into the road. The truck stopped, a man got out, grumbling in Italian. He took a machete and started hacking away at the bamboo that was in his way. I don't think he realized that I was there. He hacked and hacked at it until it finally fell, all the while talking.
Then he got back in his truck and left.

 Very curious and very beautiful.
