Photos from Greenwich cross country

[Joeyjojo]

Just thought I'd share some of the photos I took of the day - it was absolutely fantastic

 

[Shooting Star]

oh wow, they're brilliant! The TV coverage didn't really do justice to the detail of the fences - hadn't even noticed the metal / wire horses either side of fence one when I was watching the telly

Really hoping to get a chance to see some of the fences when I go tomorrow if they don't have half the British army trying to stop us

Fantastic photos! Thanks a ton for sharing with the unfortunates who couldn't go...

Great pics, love the one over the chess board

Lovely pictures, thank you. Agree about not seeing all the details of the fences on the TV, there was obviously so much thought given to the designs.

Thanks everyone, glad you like

The horses were made out of horse shoes, and were stunning. Wonder if my farrier could make me a smaller version???

Thanks for the photos, they are absolutely brilliant!! Have you got any more please?

 

[Joeyjojo]

I've got loads more! I'll see if I can upload some more

Lovely pics, it's great to see the jumps in better detail, the drop looks much steeper than it looked on the telly.

It's good to see the riders' positions too, boy I have a looooong way to go

Terrific pictures! As others have said very interesting to see all the details of the fences. Even those who went to the SJ (Eventing) were not allowed to walk the course so this is a real treat. Love the photo of Mark Todd.
Thank you for posting.

I am going to say it again! Your photos are excellent, they really allow us to feel as if we were there, we are not just catching the moment but able to study it in detail and I, for one, am in even more awe of the the riders and their wonderful horses.

Thank you for posting.
