The Human Towers of Catalonia
Last weekend I visited the Concurs de Castells in Tarragona, a bi-annual competition where teams work to build the highest and most complex human towers. I brought my M8 along and took some snaps.

If you want to see a great movie about Human Tower building I recommend this one:

It's very interesting how they hold onto each other to support the tower!
