Algerie - Tadrart - El Beridj - Retour au type d'homme «diabolo». Cette fresque, peinte à l'ocre rouge et à la peinture blanche, se situe dans un abri profond au plafond bas. On y voit des personnages, un cavalier, des chiens, des chèvres ... Un personnage peint en blanc (le «Kokopelli» selon les ethnographes des Indiens) jouant de la flûte. Il mesure 0,15 rn de hauteur.

Argentines are increasingly drawn to sports like football. Sunday after Sunday, thousands of aficionados (fans) flock to the stadiums of the capital and the provincial cities. Incidentally, they share this predilection with other South Americans. Nevertheless, the horse has not been forgotten. The old gaucho tradition exerts an irresistible spell on Argentines. This explains why a sport like polo could achieve great importance in this country. Polo, invented by the English as colonial masters in India, is played in Argentina by the wealthy class. - 1973

Folk festival of the doma at the headquarters of the Palermo agricultural cooperative (Buenos Aires).
