Juego de pelota y calaveras Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is the ball game in Xcaret, this is a Prespanish game. The people play this game and the winner was sacrifed, and they took his heart, was a honor be the winner. They played with his hips, legs, and shouldres, they can not touch the ball with his hands, they need to put it inside of this circle, the ball was made it with rubber.

Nice picture Elias. Great colors and good compostion. I like the view of the skulls in the background, also you note is very good, very descriptive of the culture who created the architecture.

Good job, -David
