Donna and I got a different view of the festivities at the Plaza de Toros yesterday, from Barry and Jan's beautiful house right above the action. And being behind and above the giant speaker stacks reduced our need for hearing protection!

The crowd all dressed in their best Western attire...




The bull-riders ("Jinetes") being introduced and saying their prayers (literally.)




The little boy on the prancing Shetland pony controlled by the man behind it was a feature this year...




One of the more feisty bulls. They seemed a little lazy this year...




And here is a short video of the highlights: https://vimeo.com/119059907

Thanks, Daniel, you're too kind. I'm still getting the hang of shooting video with a DSLR camera. It's a LOT different than still photography!
