First up in this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge treble is a night view of the Eiffel Tower. The beams bring to mind something from the War of the Worlds, scanning the Parisian night for hostile actions. This was taken in 2007, during a visit for the French Open. Read more about it and other sporting travels here.
Next up will not be to everyone’s taste, but is from Ronda in Andalucia, and it’s annual bullfighting festival. The bull is still fighting, and appears the aggressor, but doesn’t yet realise that the battle has been lost already. Taken in 2012, the festival remains a major event in the annual calendar in Ronda, a spectacularly located destination.
Finally, a summer in Dublin shot. At high tide, kids take it in turns to leap off the Wooden Bridge at Clontarf into the surprisingly welcoming waters below.

What a cool shot! I’m waiting for the alien ship to either be pulled in or pull the Eiffel Tower up. 🙂

Do the bulls recover?

Unfortunately not. They are weakened and ultimately collapse in the ring. It’s a performance rather than a contest, and while there’s an artistry to the staging of it, you do feel uneasy about the whole thing.

Hi Barry, how sad.. I would hope that we all feel uneasy. They do not deserve that treatment. In my older age I have come to realize how precious life is for all. But I realize that photography is a form of expression, but it also makes us aware of so much more than just a picture. Take care!
