How about some Basketball at 8:30 in the morning?! :-)

Maybe i should try it again....

after having played basketball for appr. 16 years a knee
injury made me stop in 1997...and since then i have not
touched a ball again - but when i see a nice court like
this one, next to the Rhine in cologne-deutz with the
severinsbridge in the back - it really starts to
"itch" in my fingers.

****************

Basketball is a team sport in which two teams of
five active players each try to score points against one
another by propelling a ball through a 10 feet (3 m)
high hoop (the goal) under organized rules. Basketball
is one of the most popular and widely viewed sports in
the world.

Points are scored by shooting the ball through the
basket from above; the team with more points at the end
of the game wins. The ball can be advanced on the court
by bouncing it (dribbling) or passing it between
teammates. Disruptive physical contact (fouls) is not
permitted and there are restrictions on how the ball can
be handled (violations).

Through time, basketball has developed to involve common
techniques of shooting, passing and dribbling, as well
as players' positions, and offensive and defensive
structures. Typically, the tallest members of a team
will play center, the shortest member usually plays
"point" while often the best ball handlers are guards.
While competitive basketball is carefully regulated,
numerous variations of basketball have developed for
casual play. In some countries, basketball is also a
popular spectator sport.

While competitive basketball is primarily an indoor
sport, played on a basketball court, less regulated
variations have become exceedingly popular as an outdoor
sport among both inner city and rural groups.

... großartiges Licht eines Wintermorgens und schöne Pastelltöne... Man bekommt richtig Lust, mal wieder schnellen Sport zu betreiben (fällt bei mir aber wegen der Knie auch aus ;-)...)
Versuch mal, das Bild noch einmal zu machen, dann aber mit offener Blende nur auf den ersten Korb, dass der Rest in leichter Unschärfe verschwindet, könnte auch wirken...
