Man Prepares to Toss the Caber

This image shows a competitor in a kilt walk-running a few paces forward while balancing the heavy. tapered caber, aiming to toss it, end over end. A crowd of offials in Highland military dress, and families watches from behind. The setting is a Highland Games at a Scottish Festival in Boston in 1945, which we know Kosti was assigned to cover.
