The theme for this week's photohunt is sports.
I browsed many of my photos, and finally settled for the obvious.
We had the chance to watch the Houston Rockets play the Boston Celtics last year, thanks to my lovely in-laws. Watching the game from the floor seats was a lot of fun, seeing the Rockets loose(at home) was not. I will always remember that game for many reasons really, but not the least is that the game was held the evening of the 2008 presidential elections, and on the way back home we listened to McCain give his speech on the radio, and by the time we got home, Obama was on stage giving his speech. A historic evening indeed!
Happy weekend all!

What a cool photo, with the guys in sharp focus in the middle, and the others blurred in motion. Very eye catching!

Hi Candi, great photo! So that's how it looks like from floor seats! I'm always in the nose bleed section...:)
I love the background story that you shared on that wonderful evening!
Have a great weekend!
