Dominos

One hot June afternoon, I went to Cayo Granma. This small island is in the bay just out from Santiago. Under the shade of a large tree, an intense domino match was being played. I watched the games for about an hour. After a while I had just sort of blended in to the group. When I began to take a few pictures this man turned to stare. Soon the intensity of the game resumed and I clicked away with all the players oblivious to me and my camera. One can find dominos being played everywhere. Each village, on the sidewalks in the towns and cities, in parks, and in vacant lots. And, it's not the game of old men. Once you start to think that, you come upon a young person playing ferociously.
