Once I went to a horse racing ground in 2009. I did not buy a ticket for betting, I did not want to, stingy in one respect, not interested in betting or gambling in another respect.

All pictures were modified from NEF files and saved as JPG files with names related to a brief discription of modification methods used).
I took some pictures of the racing ground, and stitched them together manually with a free software called photostitch, like this:
