Symmetry in action!
This must be a well-known "sport" in Italy?
Angky

Great coordination! Flag waving routines require much training. Nice capture of the action.

Perfect timing! I like that you slowed down the shutter speed enough to blur the flags. Photos of traditions like this are always interesting.

Angky

In the 14th century in Italy, The flag wavers were well trained soldiers who served to signal the enemy's movements on the battlefield using a precise code.
Today are Just amateur clubs that challenge each other in the city squares on holidays .
Not really Angky, the most known sport in Italy is football.
Thank you very much for the nice comment.

Right Mike, they are also well trained, normally they start at the age of 10, sometimes even earlier.
Many thanks for viewing.

Timing and coordination are essential in motion photos, J must say that J had to make many shots before to get the good enough "one".
Many thanks for the nice comment Todd.
