The original image is of Mary’s Shell and a gentleman taken on the beach at Cleveleys, Lancashire, UK. Boxing Day Blues refers to me passing the time of day while waiting for a family gathering for a Boxing Day meal; it does not refer to the day on which the photograph was taken. Me just messing around in Lightroom and PS.....!
Given that it is nearly spring, the Kangaroos were getting a bit animated with these two boxing and kicking at each other on the side of the hill. Eventually they moved down the other side, out of sight, but the boxing match lasted several minutes.
My zoom lens was not quite long enough to get any closer.
Another take from my boxing day outing with camera.
Taken in Dogmersfield.
Dogmersfield is a small village lying between the towns of Fleet and Hartley Wintney in north east Hampshire.
One from this morning. While I wish I could have photographed them boxing closer, I really like this scene and the light was that lovely pink/red glow you sometimes get at sunrise in winter...
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.

I'm not a landscape photographer but this spectacular morning sunrise is too nice not to post. Taken on Boxing Day 2016.

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.
