The is the second polo match I've attended. The whole thing was way too relaxing to work hard. Even the match was relaxing with 7 minute Chukkas then a 15 minute rest. I was hoping to see these wild cavalry charges with horses and riders slamming into each other at full gallop ... nope ... not gonna happen ... a great games for old men and Nuns. All-in-all a very enjoyable and restful experience.

Great series Gary. In # 2 it looks like the air is boiling i bet it was a very hot day.

Polo is such a colorful sport so a B&W version isn't my kind of fish to be honest.

Loved #1.

Wish both horses were in frame on #2.

I agree with Bollan, B&W doesn't do it for me.

Thanks Bollan and copr33. Actually, it was a very pleasant day. Will Rogers Polo Field is only a few miles (if that) from the beach at Santa Monica ... so very nice and cooling ocean breezes.
