Each July, In Leuven, there are a few tons of sand dumped into the square in front of the train station and they build four beach volleyball courts.

Today was the first day of the competition, and as I came off the train on my way home, there were a few of the first round games being played. The competition goes on til sunday, so there might well be another couple of days worth of volleyball shots.

Oh.. they guy in the sand... he made the shot, the ball is up in the air just out of frame.

What a great capture! I love the guy in the sand looking up to see if the ball made it over.

Great catch. Everyone else is probably looking at the ball and you got the guy in the sand at a very strange flexible moment. This is cool.

Good action shot, the man on the left is really hitting the turf, while the other is completely focussed. That's cool that the town does that with building these courts each year.

I never would have guessed that was in front of a train station. Good action shot.

Nice shot!

Great action shot. Too bad the ball wasn't in the frame. Did you capture it at all? Could clone it in to the image to add some more interest.
