From the Birsdville (australia) Races. Lots of beer drunk and a bit of horse racing on the side.
C&C always welcomed.

Cheers

    Thanks Gus,

    It is an amazing experience to do once. Each night the streets were littered with cans, but before sun up each day they were all clean - ready for another go.

    I got a few shots of a couple of aircraft: http://christulk.smugmug.com/gallery/1871959 - however there were not as many as had been there in previous years. I flew up for it - the only way to get there from Melbourne.

    That shot is a lot better than you think. Its loaded with scene emotion ! Those boxing tents were always at the country shows i went to as a kid. They used to fight on a big square of carpet (i can see one in your shot). They had a bloke out the front of the tent on a big drum to call people in.

    Sorry ..i didnt see you had more shots on your site.

    OK...I'm not a boxing fan, but I think this shot is terrific!! Motion, emotion, atmosphere...you can almost hear it all! Nicely captured!
