It’s the polo season again. Normally I would be standing in front of the goal, snapping the approaching riders, ready to take evading action if several horses arrive right in front of my camera. But given my current frail condition, this would not be wise behaviour, so someone else is assigned to take the “in your face” action shots.
Instead I take up residence on the sidelines where I am furnished with an excellent cappuccino, and relax to enjoy the action, while catching a few shots as the polo ponies go thundering past.
Crazy sport. It may have a reputation as being a plaything for the upper classes, but anyone who takes part is committing themselves to an athletic and dangerous pastime. Respect.
