León 🏟️｜The Boy and His Ball Shadow in Front of the Cathedral

I originally came here just to photograph the architecture 📸, but in front of León’s grand cathedral, I stumbled upon this boy playing soccer ⚽. Alone, with one ball and an open space, he played with total focus—no glances at the camera, no awareness of the crowd. This patch of ground was his stadium, his stage 🏆. Behind him stood the Gothic cathedral, beneath his feet lay weathered tiles. In that moment, I realized: Faith isn’t only found in prayer 🙏. It’s in every jump, every pause, every kick. I was just passing by, but his concentration and perseverance moved me deeply 💪. So I snapped these shots—and captured a slice of my half-day adventure in León ✨.
