Once a year in August a harness and thoroughbred racing event takes place on the North Sea beachside of Duhnen. It all began in 1902. It's the only one of this kind in the World. 

This is my first attempt at the theme and I've done it without any primary drawing, only thinking about movement and colors. Just in the way I've learned during my time at Jean Haines Art School.
