Ever since I was a kid growing up in Ogden Utah back in the early 80's, I've been fascinated by the Spanish bullfight. I even searched out books on bullfighting at the Weber County library, where I found and read "Death in the Afternoon" by Ernest Hemingway. I'm probably the only kid in Utah to have ever read that book. Now here we are 40 years later and I still enjoy learning about and keeping up with the bullfights.

Ivan Fandino in Bayona, September 3rd, 2016


(photo by Roland Castedoat)

Such a great photo. Look at Ivan Fanino's stance, feet togother, arms down, head down, back straight.

Massive bull too, charging hard, the sand is packed, a little bit flung up by the bull's hoof.

The barrera is painted a deep red, flowers hanging on the wall just below the feet of the fans.

Awesome photo.
