2013 in Photos

In this photo, a man is being gored by a bull in what appears to be a bull fight. The bull is lifting him up by its horns. I chose this photo because to me it is "revenge" on the bull's part. There is so much cruelty that goes on with bull fighting, and this picture depicts the bull being able to fight back.

This photo depicts a man running on a pole towards a flag. The photo was taken as the man was in mid air. The description of this photo states that the pole is covered in grease, so I think that's kind of cool that some people would do that. I also chose this photo because I was curious as to whether the man made it to the flag or not.
