Horse race on the sea bed (mud flats) during low tide not far from Cuxhaven! Incredibly unique event once a year that I've been wanting to attend for some time!
Photographers can enter the mud flats at designated areas, well, basically it means standing there with bare feet in the shallow water for hours.
The speed during the races and the graceful horses were fantastic! Well worth the long trip (by bicycle!)
I managed to run out of card space, which has never happened before and have so many nice pictures of this event that I simply didn't know which one to choose - hope it was the right choice!

Great action shot of this horse race! Love the details and the action where the mud is being splashed up as the horses thunder across the wet 'track'. I like the long view but wonder if a closer to the action shot would perhaps be even better. My eye is naturally drawn to the three horses on the left leading the charge - a closer view would show even greater detail on the horses, riders, and the spray of mud being kicked up.
