High Tide

When we last spoke, we saw a picture of the set-up at the Strand Race in Courtmacsherry in County Cork, Ireland.

This photo was taken approximately 6 hours later of the same scene. Granted, this is from an elevated and drier vantage point, but roughly the same direction. Take a look at the dots floating in the water- those are the poles being driven into the strand by the farmers in last week’s post.

I love horse races, one unfortunate aspect to last summer was, any time I traveled, I had to leave the town the day before a major event occurred.

Consequently, I was not able to capture any of the action race day. No worries, my sensei was there to witness and capture the events as they unfolded.
