From a remote area of Pakistan where internet is very difficult. Today we came across the village practise polo match . This area is where polo originated. Every village up here has polo teams, and next month the huge Shandur Polo Festival is held over several days on the Shandur Pass at 4,200 meters. Today we will cross the Shandur Pass as this village is the closest to it!
Best wishes to all..will visit when able, but it took me a day to be able to upload this photo! .
Happy Friday and a fabulous weekend xxx

Well worth the time taken to upload it! Polo is generally associated with the richer level of society but if every village has a team it must be open to a wider audience. Although if you own a horse here I suppose you must be more affluent too.
HFF Diana & have a great weekend.

A lot different to look at than polo in the UK. What a stunning backdrop to the game though. I wonder where the rest of the white team are?
HFF, Diana, and enjoy the rest of this amazing trip.

A terrific shot Diana and what a fabulous backdrop. I was surprised to learn this was where polo originated. I had it in my head that it came from Argentina so thank you for the information.

Beautifully captured. I hope you are having a fabulous trip
HFF and a good weekend to you

You've captured the polo action very well.........and the horses look really beautiful. Those mountains make a spectacular backdrop and I like the green trees running along the centre of the frame.

Excellent work Diane..!!
