 When to a conference in france last week not knowing the challenge and took this on the wednesday. This was meant to be "entertainment" for the evening - Bull racing. Local boys get in the ring and dodge the bull, often it has ribbons on the horns, which the boys have to get off, usually for money. This was just for "fun". I have mixed feeling about the event, it wasnt as cruel as the spanish "corrida", the bulls are let back in the paddock after, but I think their fate is inevitable... I had bull steak for tea that day!

I hope I dont get too much criticism of the subject, regardless of my feelings on the subect this is a huge in the mediterranean.

Shot with the trusty F717.
