men (and women) in white [mostly photographs]

[Daniel Kalal]

Needless to say, none of these riding photographs were taken in the U.S.  This is probably a good example of foreigners--that would be me in this case--seeing different things than locals who see it (or don't see it) every day.

Only the first photo comes up Daniel. The rest are the dreaded black cross in the square. Yours always show

Cricket in the US?  Did not know that they played it in your neck of the woods.

I Suggest you read the text above the pictures at least the top two are in Australia possibly the third and the bottom two have that UK look about them.

Skip over the border
Cricket has a strong following in Vancouver, there are many clubs.

And bowls! I thought that was quite universal.

 We sort of play "at" cricket and bowls here in America , we are more into curling

No; I'd never seen people playing bowls until I visited Australia.  It never even occurred to me that the ball would intentionally have an off-center c.g.  It's an interesting game with more strategy than I would have thought.

Thats interesting Daniel. 

Because it requires cunning and skill but not high levels of fitness almost any one can play it.  I'm led to believe it has the highest levels of participation of any sport in this country.

Dusty, curling clubs do exist here but it usually requires an artificial ice skating rink for them to operate. (I've had a go at it) except in Central Otago.

That's because of the club bar that's always next to the greens

We are heading to Victoria, BC in a week and a half. Too bad it's winter: probably no cricket in the parks. Well, they still have tea and beer!
