Hard to describe the high of our horse racing to the finish at the Happy Valley Night Races! A fun night filled with great food, drink and loads of atmosphere.
Happy Valley Night Races – Hong kong, China
Until next time…happy travels, no matter where life takes you!
You can see other things in motion here
I’ve been there!!! Lots of fun!
Wasn’t it? We loved the carnival atmosphere. Thanks Stephen.
Happy travels to you too Madhu
Have a blast Paula. And stay away from the computer
I took your advice Madhu, though I only saw your comment just now. How are you doing?
Very well, though struggling to keep up with reading blogs and answering comments. Not sure how long I can keep this up
How was your vacation?
Perfect! Colorful, exotic, full of action.
Thank you Naomi.
Great entry, Madhu. Looks like a fun place to be.
Oh, it was great fun. Thanks AD
This horse’s fast movement put him way out front. Happy travels to you as well.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
HE was the favourite and carried minimal odds, but still winning is winning
Thanks Francine
Fun photo! Love horse races.
Me too Angeline
Real living horse power beats, in beauty, orther kind of horse-powered movement…
No doubt about it Ledrakenoir
perfect take for the theme!
Thanks Nelson. Loved your fancy wheels as well
Sounds like you are having fun. Enjoy!
This was from a 2009 trip Marcia. Wish i was there now. I love Hong kong.
Never been but looks interesting, I’ll have to add it to the bucket list!
I hope you bet on that one!
Of course we did, and won a cool $180 on a wager of $10
Loved your post on microlights Jude. But my comment isn’t showing up and I am not able to figure out why.
very appropriate…and colorful!
Thank you so much
Great choice for this week’s photo challenge.
Thank you Myra. Appreciate your stopping by to comment

Like the contrast of the movement of the racing horses and the stillness of the spectators.
Wonderful and colorful image.

I hope you didn’t bet loosing much money
Oh no no Frizz! We bet $10 each on two races and won $180 total, so not a bad deal eh?
Great image; one that pulls you in and makes you wish to be there in the moment! z
Thank you! I was actually disappointed when i saw the image was blurred like most of my night shots
Si, night shots can be very disappointing. The appear fine in the little window of the camera but are sorely lacking when viewed through the computer screen!
Every so often we are delighted that the not-so-perfect image is perfect for a particular photo op!
Great action shot!! I just love the horses!
Thank you Fergimoto! I am delighted that you think so
Great entry for the movement challenge!
Thank you. You are too kind

Hey Madhu,
I have been looking at a lot of blogs on this weeks challenge, and have been waiting to come see yours.
I love the anti-motion your camera captured of the fan in the crowd of people.
As always you didn’t disappoint
Thank you Jim, you are too kind
Great subject for a panning shot Madhu. Next time, let the camera follow the horses while shooting with slow shutter speed. The horses will stay sharp and the surrounding will become blurry “speed-lines”. Would love to make a horse-panning
This one was shot with a lowly point and shoot Anette. Shall keep your tips in mind for my next race, now that I have a better camera
looking forward to see your race pan
Oh Oh We (The director and I) raced horses in Jammu and Kashmir. SO MUCH FUn! xD
Isn’t it? One of my friend’s dad used to be the Steward at the Madras Race Club and we would go regularly, since we got to sit in the airconditioned box with him! Not anymore though.

What a cool shot! Love that you can see the colours on the horses even as they speed along
It was cold and wet, a drop in temperature from here to Lech am Arlberg was close to 30 degrees Celsius which was a huge change, and it lead us to lots of spending, eating in different warm places, shopping for clothes and boots
, but I loved every minute of it Madhu 
Thank you. I know this blogging business can be exhausting, but please don’t give up!
Racing is a great one for the challenge. Nice shot too
