The Bull & Horse cart race

Way back in 2012 while I was on a industrial shoot tour in Maharashtra, I came across this strange sight of a bull & horse combination cart being pulled at great speed. I lied down on the road & shot a dozen or so images & got this beauty, If you notice carefully all the 8 legs are in mid air & the cartwala has a beautiful smile. A rare shot indeed. Upon inquiry I came to know that it is an race held between 2 villages by various cart owners with similar combos & the 1st prize is Rupees one lakh.
