Photo of the week: Playa Murciélago, yesterday

Everything that happens in a large space and the only thing that matters to us. By Francisco Herrera Bravo

The snapshot taken yesterday by Ecuadorian photographer Francisco Herrera Bravo shows a panoramic view of Murciélago Beach in Manta, Ecuador.

A lot of things are happening: A cruise ship has just arrived, a multimillion-dollar cargo ship is being supplied, people are exercising, others are going to work, others are leaving work, street vendors are offering their products, and so on.

Way down there, and you don't have to be a genius to find it, maybe, why not, zoom in a little... There is something that catches your attention: A blue right-hander generating a square tube with a bodyboarder inside.

Thousands of people walked along that beach that morning and very few were amazed by what Francisco Herrera now brought us and also made us hallucinate.

And the one who was most amazed, of course, was the bodyboarder who took that tube.
