One of the fellows at work discovered a Polo Club up the road from our plant. They play a few nights during the week. A group of four of us went over to take photos.
I actually used a tripod again. It helped my photos.
Although, I still felt kind of goofy with my little Lumix beside the big Canon lenses.

Venedig - San Polo
Rio de San Stin
San Polo (Venetian: San Poło) is the smallest and most central of the six sestieri of Venice, northern Italy, covering 86 acres (35 hectares) along the Grand Canal. It is one of the oldest parts of the city, having been settled before the ninth century, when it and San Marco formed part of the Realtine Islands. The sestiere is named for the Church of San Polo.
The district has been the site of Venice's main market since 1097, and connected to the eastern bank of the Grande Canal by the Rialto bridge since the thirteenth century. The western part of the quarter is now known for its churches, while the eastern part, sometimes just called the Rialto, is known for its palaces and smaller houses.
Attractions in San Polo include the Rialto Bridge, the Church of San Giacomo di Rialto (according to legend the oldest in the city), the Campo San Polo with the Church of San Polo, the House of Goldoni, the Church of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, the Church of San Rocco and the Scuola Grande di San Rocco.

San Polo ist einer der sechs Stadtteile von Venedig. Er liegt südwestlich des Canal Grande in der durch diesen gebildeten großen Schleife. Seinen Namen leitet das Sestiere (Sechstel) von der antiken Kirche San Paolo Apostolo ab. Dieser Kirche war ehemals eine eigene Pfarrei zugeordnet; heute gehört sie zur Gemeinde von Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. Das Sestiere hatte im Jahr 1171 acht Contrade (Kirchengemeinden); bis 1586 stieg die Zahl auf neun.
2009 hatte San Polo eine Bevölkerungszahl von 5022, die sich auf die Pfarreien San Silvestro (mit San Giacometto), San Cassiano (mit Santa Maria Mater Domini) und Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari (mit San Polo und San Rocco) verteilten.
Das Sestiere ist mit rund 34 Hektar das kleinste der Stadt, birgt in seinen Grenzen jedoch den ältesten Teil Venedigs und den zweitgrößten Platz, den Campo San Polo.
Herzstück ist der Rialto mit dem Mercato di Rialto, dem Handelszentrum der Stadt. Der Name ist von rivo alto (dt. hohes Ufer) abgeleitet und umfasste zu Beginn der Stadtentwicklung eine Gruppe von Inselchen, die Isole Rialtine, die ihr Zentrum um den Rio Businiaco bildeten. In diesem Teil der Stadt befand sich im 9. Jahrhundert auch der erste Regierungssitz, der von Malamocco hierher verlegt worden war. Von den ursprünglichen Bauten ist nach der Brandnacht vom 10. Januar 1514, ausgenommen die Kirche San Giacometto, kaum etwas übrig geblieben.

The Myopia Hunt Club is one of those old country clubs in Massachusetts (founded in 1882). Some of the founders were previously part of a club named for the (literal) poor vision of the four brothers who founded it and the name stuck.
The club hosts the oldest continually active Polo field in America and you can stop by on a Sunday afternoon and see horses and riders compete.
An interesting observation is that the horses neither flinch or turn when the ball hits them (it frequently does) but the game did stop once when a rider was hit....
Me, Bob, Paige and Libby went to check out Polo on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in Skaneateles. Learned a lot of new terms, including chukka and we were able to get out on the field and help stamp out the divots!

Shandur Top 3700-M located in Gilgit Baltistan Pakistan. Shandur is often called the 'Roof of the World'. The top is flat, a plateau and can be crossed between late April and early November. Shandur Pass is one of the major mountain passes between Chital and Gilgit-Baltistan.
Every year there is a polo match played on Shandur Top between the home teams of Gilgit and Chital teams from other regions.
Shandur invites visitors to experience a traditional Polo tournament which since 1936 has been held annually in the first week of July between the local teams of Chitral and Ghizer. The tournament is held on Shandur Top, the highest polo ground in the world at 3,700 meters.The festival also includes Folk music, dancing and a camping village is set up. The polo tournament is featured in the first episode of
Himala ya with Michael Palin.
Various teams of Gilgit-Baltistan and Chitral have always played the game of polo closest to its original form. During the early 20th century, the British in neighboring India were the patrons of the game. Free-styled mountain polo is arguably polo in its purest form. This version of the game played at Shandur-Top has attained legendary status and is of great interest to international and domestic adventure tourists alike.
