Hi Everyone

Today's Spotlight on my series, Snow Polo, is a special one because it was just barely under a year ago that I wrote ~

"Snow Polo St Moritz. Have you heard of it? If you have, then you know. If you haven't, then you are like me last summer, when I first learned of thistruly luxurious event. Quite simply, I knew I had to see it to believe it and immediately made plans to attend in 2015. What happened once I arrived is more than I could have ever imagined."

This series has such a special place in my memory bank. The entire experience was such a thrill!

Snow-Polo-St.Moritz

Played atop a frozen lake below the magnificent snowy pistes of St. Moritz, the tournament is a spectacle of breathtaking surroundings and glistening glamour of the rich and famous.Capturing the championship on the ground and from above, this series pays tribute to the tradition of the "Sport of Kings" inspiring us to relish in its honorable and graceful spirit.

Shooting from the air, the view was awe inspiring and tear inducing (due to the very chilly wind!)...
