The Heads of Legends

Legends of the bull-fighting arena in Torre del Oro, a tapas bar in Madrid.  The walls are papered in decades of photographs capturing the grissly successes of both matadors and bull.  Below is the head of Barbero surrounded by the knives which were finally used to kill him after he wrecked havoc in the arena.  Images taken from Ayash Basu's beautiful online gallery: http://www.ayashbasu.com/photoblog/index.php?showimage=236
