Spain: Under Construction?

    In Spain there are many of these cut-out bulls overlooking main roads. Originally placed as adverts for 'Toro de Osborne' sherry they have became a national symbol. All along the Spanish Costas, the builders have moved in, grabbing every plot of available land. A symbol for a country under re-construction?

      I don´t think so. They were the only adds some time ago, now are something like a... tradition? But no, not a symbol.

      Unavoidably a symbol. I've been trying to find the right way to capture a scene like this ever since I got here to Spain. Great silhouette!

      Well, now with the building boom going more than a little bust in Spain, the bull takes on a whole new meaning (at least in english).

      Good photo, I like the composition and solid contrast. Nice work.
