I admit this is an unusual photo to launch my photography blog with. You’ll either like it or hate it.
Here’s the background:
This was our first day in Madrid. We landed mid-morning, got settled in our hotel then scoped out the sights to see. It just so happened there was a bullfight that Sunday evening. It was the only day available– so we got a taxi and off we went.
I didn’t realize what I was getting into until the bullfighting began. (Surprisingly, I don’t always think things through 😉 )
It was a 2-hour experience. A new bull was introduced every half hour.
I was uncomfortable and stopped taking photos after awhile.
We had to leave for other commitments — so we only stayed half-way through. I was glad to leave.
Love the picture…That look like it must have been very exciting to see!
Claudia, it was a fascinating experience. The bulls have such force– to see them nearly knocking over the horses was quite jolting. I was also impressed by the bullfighters’ flexibility and nimbleness.
