Another take from my boxing day outing with camera.

With the usual Boxing Day activities cancelled this year, it was a case of stay indoors all day or brave the weather and get out for a walk. The walk won, with a strong cold gusty wind and the threat of rain at every turn we still managed just over 4 miles. I only took this one photo looking over towards Great Manshead Hill because it was too cold to keep taking my gloves off. It did manage to stay dry until we got home, just.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
Professional boxing in Gloucester, England - title fight between Danny Carter and Andy Keates
I thought I had a black and white edit of this shot but I didn't... (I guess I liked it better at the time in colour as you can see all the blood splatter from Danny's mouth in glorious technicolour) so here it is... a new edit in glorious monochrome
Dorian Darch vs Imantas Davidaitis
Whenever I saw Welshman Dorian Darch fight, it was always a blood bath. I think he was one of the guys who cut easily. Here blood streams from a cut as he punches his opponent.
I digress a bit here but I recall the story of a boxing referee who claimed he got HIV from blood spatter in the ring. Easy to understand how that might be true when you see stuff like this. Nowadays, boxers are tested regularly to try to protect from this and I recall a boxer being denied the right to fight by the British Boxing Board of Control because of blood results, Even as a ringside photographer, so further away than the ref, I have had blood spatter go on my face and my camera. Not nice either which way!
This is pro boxing. In white-collar boxing, they don't blood test regularly like pro boxing does so there are even more dangers than just being poorly regulated. Tend to be less blood though at those fights. Just as well.

Unbelievably there were /are 9 engineers trains heading East through Teignmouth and Dawlish today. It was in connection with a major engineering project in the Plymouth area. In addition to the bonus services there was a total block situation along the sea wall, this meant that the trains crawled along this stretch of line at 5 mph, the trains could be in line of sight of each other with no signalling knowing they could come to a stop, even in the tunnels. At one point we had two trains on the same track on the sea wall at Dawlish within sight of each other.
66074 eeks its way along the wall with old track forming the 1031 from Hemerdon to Westbury, 70801 had not long disappeared around the corner at Langstone Cliff.
Plenty of walkers along the sea wall burning off the roast spuds. I think everyone of them asked myself and a few other fellow phottwers what was occurring.

Le Boxing Day est un jour férié célébré après le jour de Noël, qui a lieu le deuxième jour de la période de Noël (le 26 décembre). Le Boxing Day était autrefois un jour pour donner des cadeaux aux personnes moins fortunees, mais il a évolué pour devenir une partie des festivités de Noël, de nombreuses personnes choisissant de faire des achats à prix réduits le lendemain de Noël. Il est né au Royaume-Uni et est célébré dans plusieurs pays du Commonwealth
Our house remained in the mist all Boxing day but a short walk uphill took us into the sunshine - if only for a brief time.
All quite pleasant for a Boxing Day walk….until a slippery rock caught me out and I ended up in hospital with a fractured wrist. Damn.
My first visit to the Boxing Gloves on the Northern Edge of Kinder, Its an area that I've just dismissed over the years, always going some place else.
The evening light was forecasted, but as time ticked on it didn't seem like it was going to produce any light, then all of a sudden it broke through the clouds and gave some strong sidelight for 30 minutes.
I decided upon this composition because the rocks and the middle distance are lit up with that lovely glow.
I might share some others, but for now, I'm just enjoying being active again.

By talking to Jean-Paul Mendy (IBF #1), and seeing the confidence he possesses, you'd almost think that he was the champion defending his title on Saturday night, rather than the other way around. Few fighters, in his position would be able to possess such a calm and collective demeanor, but for Mendy his fight against IBF Super Middleweight Titleist, Lucian Bute, in Bute's home country of Romania, seems to be just another day in office. Mendy challenges Bute this Saturday night at the Romexpo in Bucharest, Romania. The bout is promoted by EuroPlstar boxingus Computers S.R.L. and Interbox in association with Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing.
"Training camp was very good, I worked very hard for this fight, and I am ready to go Saturday night," stated Mendy.
While Bute is considered by many to be the top super middleweight, and one of the top pound for pound fighters in the world, Mendy says he doesn't see anything in particular that overly impresses him.
"I have had a very long career in the sport, and seen many different fighters. I competed in the Olympics and have yet to be beaten as a professional. To me Lucian Bute is just another fighter. The only difference is that he is a champion, and for that I'm very happy that I have this opportunity to finally fight for a world championship."
The fight Saturday night will be only Bute's second as a professional, and first as world champion in his home country of Romania, and a raucous crowd is expected to be on hand. Again though, Mendy is unfazed, if anything, he is excited about it.
"I have been to Romania before and I really liked the country and the people so I am very much looking forward to fighting there. I expect everyone there to be cheering for him, but the ring that night will be just like any other ring I have fought in. The fans, whether they are for me or against me, will stimulate me, and I will feed off their energy. I know that as long as I am myself and box like I know how, I will be victorious in this fight."
Bute (28-0, 23KO's) vs Mendy (29-0-1, 16KO's) is scheduled for twelve rounds and will be for Bute's IBF Super Middleweight Championship. The bout is promoted by EuroPlus Computers S.R.L. and Interbox in association with Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing.

I went for a walk with my family and our forest is still covered with snow and thick ice. The ponies were trying to scrape the ground to forage, hopefully the thaw will come soon to help them.
This beautiful mare seemed so perfect for a Christmas picture.
Combat after the thunder. I nipped out to see my most local Wizards, as they get even more revved up during storms, and there was plenty of action, but again way off, and this is a large crop. Still I have lots of close battle scenes previous years, so its nice to make a larger setting of it. I did manage a few near running shots too, which is always a bonus, Suffolk.
