Is that sand the guy is tossing in the last two frames? Looks like he's maybe rubbed sand on his hands for grip and was throwing aside the excess. Or does that have some significance in sumo?
Love the outfits. Happy WW:)

Happy WW! Your shots are great as always. I really liked your last post. Those are some really first class dog photographs!
A Ford Excursion would lose in a collision with one of these guys.
Two words.
ManBoobs. Thankyou.
What is he throwing in the last couple of frames?
I still can't get over how large those guys are. Fabulous photographs.

Great photos - I'm with the other commenters - what is that? Water, sand, powder?
Hi to all WW participants, thanks for dropping by and your kind messages. The last two shots show the sumo wrestler tossing salt onto the ring as a symbol of purifying the ring.
