Would you dare to bite a bull's tail? *********************************************** West Sumatras Real Life Cowboys celebrate the annual "Pacu Jawi" which marks the end of rice harvest. „Pacu Jawi“ means „bull race“ in the traditional Minangkabauan language. Whereas the indonesian language Bahasa, „Jawi“ isn’t used any longer. Instead, „Sapi“ refers to both genders, cows, and bulls. That’s why the Balinese, Maduranese, and Eastern Javanese call their race „Karapan Sapi“. The social event in West Sumatra might not look unique at a glance since bulls are speeding all across the Indonesian archipelago, but just the Minangkabau turn a freshly harvested paddy field into an improvised track, which makes a muddy disaster inevitable. read the full story on claudiosieberphotography.com @ West Sumatra, Indonesia © claudiosieberphotography.com *********************************************** #picoftheday #fun #traditional #sumatra #pacujawi #bestintravel #peopleinfinity #culture #travelgram #peoplescreative #speed #travelstoke #people #destinationearth #jaw_dropping_shots #mobilemag #ig_worldphoto #huffpostgram #bbctravel #natgeotravel #indonesia #exploretocreate #sport #lovetheworld #visualsoflife #bbctravel #travelstoke #action #travelphotographer #roamtheplanet cc @streetartglobe @natgeotravel @bbctravel @nikonartists @jaw_dropping_shots @people_infinity_ @visualsofasia Would you dare to bite a bull's tail? *********************************************** West Sumatras Real Life Cowboys celebrate the annual "Pacu Jawi" which marks the end of rice harvest. „Pacu Jawi“ means „bull race“ in the traditional Minangkabauan language.
