Men On The Top Of The Pole

Shot in Teotihuacan, Mexico.

A long wooden pole was erected in the square in front of the entrance of the World Heritage Site. I became curious and approached it. When I stood near it, some men started to climb. They were going up smoothly. And they reached the top of the pole in a moment.

Danza de los Voladores was begun. And they were the players of the ceremony. Soon after, they were hung with a rope and started to descend while they turned around.
