more from France - bullfighting

More from France... This image was taken in Arles, France- a very small town outside of Avignon. The main attraction of this town was the ancient colosseum structure located in the middle of town. On the day we visited, we were fortunate enough to find out that this coloesseum is still active. This photo was taken from a window of a small cafe that faced the large structure just after a bullfight had let out. The streets in Arles are not that big and when the fight got out they were instantly overflowing. It was quite a site to watch from the window as I sipped my coffee and pulled out my camera.
Though this image has some technical inadequacies, I still liked it and the mood it captured. I did a quick black and white conversion because I didn't feel the color version was as fitting. If you look at the white van towards the middle of the image you will see people flooding the front windows of the van trying to get an autograph from what I assume was one of the bullfighters.
