Description
Girls in Guizhou playing a game whose name I guess roughly translated to sticks. The idea of the game seems to be similar to jacks except instead of bouncing a ball you toss something into the air and grab as many of the bamboo sticks as you can then catch the object before it hits the ground.Canon 30V, Canon 50mm f/1.4 Lens, Fujichrome Velvia 100F

hehe.. i grew up playing that. all the kids had their own sticks and stones they're familiar with and we use them so many times the edges of the hard rock would get worn down to smooth surfaces.
