    Gary, Nice photos of this traditional activity, which could well become a sport, I suppose there will be competitions to see who shears the most sheep in one day.

    Brian, great photo of the boat race and nice rear projection of the water, which makes the photo more dynamic.

    Gary, nice photography, Log cutting is a rural sport, also very widespread here in Spain, especially in the Basque Country, where the tradition has been kept alive, holding many competitions.

    Gary, great photography of sawing, I guess it's another rural sport

    Based on a satire, specifically the X, of the Roman poet Juvenal, and thanks to the current media, we could say that with professional sports we are approaching that oft-repeated concept of "Panem et Circenses".

    On October 12, a transcendental soccer match for the European Champions League was held in Barcelona, between Internazionale Milano and Barcelona C.F.

    A couple of hours before the event, this is the appearance of the surroundings of the Barcelona Stadium, the "Nou Camp", which I try to reflect with the following photographs.

    Nice colourful images, José, you have brought to life a part of these matches , that show the buildup and the activities not seen by people outside of the arena and not of your country. well done.
