Photos of Spain
Here are a few shots of Spain taken over the years. Since I only recently purchased a digital camera, there are relatively few photos to upload. The others are slides that must be converted.
This is the first time I have tried this so if you have access to more than this one album, please let me know.
Thank you and I hope you enjoy the limited shots.

Very nice photos Aduchamp! Now some things are diferent. Like Pamploma, and by the way, worldinabag, your comment is not funny! Poor running of the bulls, it´s an awful thing, to laugh at animals, make them suffer and torture them at the end in the bullring!
It's one of the awful things that happen in Spain, but there are worst things, like in a town called Tordesillas, they kill a bull with lances! so primitive, many spaniards, seem to be living in the past! We suposed to live in a Modern world! But every year, there a more and more people opposed to animal suffering!

Pamplona has change a lot since 72, but they still shepherd (a pastore) the sheep through the city, the same way they do in Ketchum, Idaho, twice each year. In Ketchum it's referred to as the "running of the sheep".

Hi adammacia
Please refer to my previous posts in this forum. I am totally opposed to the "bull cult" in Spain and look forward to the day when the creatures are no longer tormented. However close examination of OP's photo indicates no live sheep were harmed or harassed for our entertainment

ETA had a point in 72, but that went away some years ago with Franco's passing.
worldinabag, do you limit your cause to the "bull cult" in Spain, or have you looked at what goes on around the rest of the world, from a constant state of war, on down.

For the gallegos I added a photo of an horreo. An horreo is a raised structure to hold and protect it against rodents. They often have two symbols on opposite ends a cross and a phallus representing fertility. It is found in the northern provinces.
The horreo in the photo is raised but it cannot be seen because of the angle of the shot.

horreo found in the northern provinces???
It is building found all over Galicia. Except in my part of the valley where it is too steep. Up the hill they have loads of them.
adrienne I loved that comment too. It is a shame we cannot award comedian of the year for that one.
The bull culture will end.
