| Last year I posted a photo of the Beacon Hill Park Cricket Oval. Adjacent to the cricket oval behind a high hedge is another venerable Victoria sporting venue, the Victoria Lawn Bowling Club. The club has been in existence for 100 years and has my best wishes for continued long life. I was amazed by the genuine warmth and friendliness displayed by the helpful members of the club when I stopped in to watch a recent tournament. Cricket, which is renowned for its civilized style of play, seems positively savage when contrasted with the stately grace and gentility of lawn bowling. While it bears some resemblance to curling and bocce, it is a unique game played with special balls and with its own rules. Click here for the Wikipedia entry on "Bowls." |  |

Isn't there a lawn bowling place near us as well? i've always wanted to try it, I love Bocce.....
Great perspective here too! The sky looks great too.
Wonderful shot! I love the sky! And bowls is such a fun game with a pint of beer in hand!
What a photo! Very dramatic skies with interesting people in it.
Another Stunning Photo! I really am curious to know the make and model of your lens and camera!! :-)
Thanks all for your kind remarks. Kcalpesh, I use the entry-level Sony DSLR, the Alpha 200. The last bunch of shots I've posted have been taken with a new lens I just bought - a Sigma 10-20 mm wide angle.
I really like the photo. Nice thing to post it mate.
