Location: Plaza De Toros, Pamplona, Navarra
Description: The final moments of a toro from Hros. de Don José Cebada Gago.

This is not a beautiful photo. It’s not supposed to be. It is disturbing but, that is one of the feelings I get during a corrida. I go there becuase I want to go. However, I don’t think its a bad thing to have mixed feelings about it.

If you believe commentators, the art of bullfighting has symbolic meanings, and points to the bad side of human-beings.

Location: Plaza De Toros, Pamplona, Navarra
Description: This is the aftermath of picador’s horse being toppled by a toro during the corrida of Francisco Marco. Yesterday’s photograph gave background on this photo.

Yes, that is blood, and no, it is not belonged to the man. It is blood from the horse, after it had been gored. Of all the corrida, I have to say, I feel most sorry for these horses. I don’t think they know what’s coming. They stand, take it quietly, and then, die.
