The ring

The matadors enter.
the seductive crowd


No thank you!

one guy got seriously injured and had to be hauled out of the ring

olé! New meaning to "behind the back".

this guy was pretty incredible

olé!

Sizing up the challenge.

The moment.

The bull is about to kneel to the matador.

The Bull is carried away.


Literally a circle of blood, between the bullfights the maintence crew would apply a fresh blood to the circle as needed. After the fight, the bull is off to the butcher to be cut up and eventually eaten. The bulls that fought valiently end up here...
