Borneo Underwater by Ritwik

A few pics taken by a good buddy Ritwik, an enthusiast of underwater photography..
We divided tasks so that I was covering the land and him the underwater world..
This way I even had a chance to be on a few pics!

A close meeting with a really big one..

Horse racing in HK commenced in 1841 with the arrival of the British. With the exception of a few years during World
War II, the track in Happy Valley has seen non-stop action ever since. The Hong Kong Jockey Club was founded in 1884
and changed from an amateur to a professional organisation in 1971. The growth of the sport's popularity was attended
