Ballinasloe Horse Fair 4. - 12. 10. 2008

According to this article, the oldest horse fair is about to begin.

Is anybody going there? I am thinking about early start even tomorrow. And maybe next Saturday or Sunday. If you see me there, kick me in the head.

If you want to go, I have one free seat in my car.

Ooooooh, I'm so tempted. Supposed to be doing other things but ....

Change of plans - I have to work tomorrow. So I am going there on Sunday early in the morning - to be there before traffic and to take some snaps of breakfast in local bistro.

i might - what time does it start ?

There are horses and people after 8 a.m. That is my target time to get there without traffic jams and to have a breakfast without hurry after first stroll around the place.

If you want to go with me, let me know till tomorrow evening (10-ish).
The warning is that I am slow driver - I was speeding once and I miss that €80.00 paid for my own stupidity :-(

Almost last call for a passenger.

Beautiful day among all the horses. They loved me (the horses) and I almost bought two. I knew that so I left my credit card home.
There could be one good shot, I hope. I wasn't in photography mood at all - 1500 km in last three days with increasing road rage incidents. I feel tired.

However, I have seen lots of L-lenses and few people from DCC. I hope you'll post link to your pictures.
