What a sad, mean-spirited remark.

Personally, I like to watch a polo horse in the same way as I like to look at a Ferrari; I could never afford to own one and probably would not buy one even if I could; but their acceleration, speed, grace and looks are a pleasure to witness.

As for the rider, she is from Argentina, where polo is a national sport and the best players are held in high regard. She is one of the best female players in world at only 25 and from a brief chat I had with her, a very pleasant young lady. Here’s a shot I took of her with her husband: http://bit.ly/Y6zx5q

I see no nags.

He’s been doing it for years, camera brands, lens brands, and La Pavoni from post number one… Did I have a redundant apostrophe in there? I’m all on edge now…

Hmm - how unlike you to photograph people’s drinks; what next, xmas dinner? Did i have a redundent comma in there? I’m all on edge now…

Heineken ???? No taste .. but the brewey tour in Amsterdam is great. Best alcholic drink for ´product placement´ these days is CIDRE by Stella Artois … taking on the Irish and the Scrumpy boys and actually is pretty good !!
