The Hong Kong Olympic Equestrian Venue (Sha Tin) is converted from the Hong Kong Sports Institute and Penfold Park. Apart from the main facilities, there are warm-up and training areas for the competitors. An air-conditioned building for the management headquarters for the competition as well as Olympic Family/Paralympic Family reception area and accommodation for the grooms. Also, newly constructed stable with air-conditioned accommodation for over 200 horses.


Technically: This is my first panorama manually in Photoshop. I had to readjust the exposure in every pic, healing tools and blending mask.
