LAG contemplates the long-ago chariot races....

From the Extramadura flickr set.  I think this was the only time I was actually in front of the lens rather than behind it....



Not the most flattering photo ever, but hey, I was on vacation.  (and yes, that is The Hat. Acquired in 1991, it has been with me through blizzards, Nor'Easters, blazing hot deserts, sudden rainstorms.... I <3 The Hat)


It was hot, and still, and I swear, you could practically HEAR the cheers and thundering hooves, even now.  Quite amazing, and walking the course, I could feel how it had been designed to puuuuuull you around the corners.....

I really love this picture. You look content, comfortable, and like a writer on vacation.
ps The Hat is wonderful.
