Description: This is the third and final photo in this sequence. This was the impromptu shrine dedicated to Daniel Jimeno Romero who died on the 10th of July during the encierro.

It was a pity, but shortly after this, the foral police removed all of the pañuelos, and fajas, and candles from the barrera, “for safety reasons”.

Location: Telefónica, Pamplona, Navarra
Description: This is the second photo in this sequence. The previous is here. This unidentified girl walked out from behind one of the outside barreras (fencing). She managed to walk up to the barrera where Daniel Jimeno Romero had died, the morning before.

As she walked, I watched her. I watched as she tied the pañuelo, but I couldn’t do anything. I was really torn between should I take the photograph, or not? It seemed I was the only person there.

It took me 10-15 seconds before I could take the photo, as it was a very emotional site. She had such grief and sadness in her face. She didn’t want any photographs. She turned away, and walked back into the crowd. It was a very strange, uncomfortable moment.

Description: This was a really, really disturbing sight to see. I was waiting for things to “hot up” on the encierro, when this unidentified girl walked out from behind one of the outside barreras (fencing). The foral police did not want to let her through as it had gone past the time when the public were allowed to enter the course. She managed to walk through, and walk up to the barrera where Daniel Jimeno Romero had died, the morning before. She tied a panuelo, and a bunch of flowers to the barrera where he had died.

As she walked, I watched her. I watched as she tied the pañuelo, but I couldn’t do anything. I was really torn between should I take the photograph, or not? It seemed I was the only person there.

It took me 10-15 seconds before I could take the photo, as it was a very emotional site. She had such grief and sadness in her face. She didn’t want any photographs, but I felt I had to do it. Or maybe I didn’t have to…I don’t really know.
