Wild South
One of my personal favorites.
This picture taken in a rodeo (during the lasso tournament) in the south of Brazil. The cowboys are called “gauchos”, and this one is dressed typically. This type of large trousers are called “bombachas”.
Captured at 300mm in negative film and then scanned.
Wild South belongs to the following groups:

Thank you all. I’m quite new here and I’ve only started uploading my pictures.
No need to go to Uruguay, MiguelNunez – I’m living in Rio Grande do Sul, southern most state of Brazil. We make border with Uruguay and we’re full of gauchos here as well (including me :) ).

Thanx Maddy. It had been a while since last time someone commented on this image. I thought it would be forever buried in a pile of images…
