Archery.

Thimphu - West Bhutan.

Le tir à l’arc est un véritable sport national au Bhoutan. Il exige une concentration maximale de la part de l’archer.
Nous fûmes stupéfaits de voir l’adresse des participants qui parviennent à toucher l’étroite cible peinte sur un panneau de bois de 120 centimètres de hauteur sur 30 centimètres de large, à 140 mètres de distance !

Archery is THE national sport in Bhutan. It requires maximum concentration from the archer.
We were amazed to see how skillful are the participants who manage to touch the narrow target painted on a wooden panel 120 centimeters high and 30 centimeters wide, at a distance of 140 meters!

So many expressions in this beautifully colorful detailed capture. I like the contrast of the modern compound bow and the other cultural/historical elements in this image. VV++

Quelle prouesse de tirer sur une cible à 140m. Elle doit paraître bien petite. V
