Tim's Pamplona Pics

These are some of The pictures I took at the San Fermin Festival in Pamplona 2003

 

Brendan and Tim at the start of our Trip - The White cliffs of Dover
Drinking to pass the time on the Bus...
Getting Ripped off eating Paella - the two at the front of the pic paid €16 each, the next 6 paid €12 and the last 2 paid €9 - all for the same meal, more or less based on how much spanish you knew...
Prawn Wars
Opening day - good old Don Simon Sangria
(Not to mention cheap Champagne, shaving foam and everything else that we were wearing, drinking or standing in)
Me and some strangers, can't remember a blind thing about them, but it looks like we're having fun...
These guys aren't as messy as I was at this stage...
Chance encounter in the street after losing everyone at the opening Ceremony.
The infamous BBQ, 180L of Sangria to go...
The start of the drinking games...
The drink is obviously having an effect...
...yep...
Down at the RedBack...
More girls... and more Sangria...
Me looking hot and sweaty (& pissed)
Not too sure whats going on in this picture.
(But its interesting)
"I'm too sexy for my shirt..."
(apparently)
The drinking game is in full swing
When camping, always remember to clean your teeth...
We ran with the bulls together
(but he got ahead of me & made it to the Bull ring)
The encampment
Brendan soaking up some rays
I know how you *say* her name, but not how you spell it...
The (terrible) twins
Singing songs to a musical accompaniment...
More singing (& drinking)
Trolley Races
(I was the pusher in the inagural race, and we wn by a hefty margin)
And they're off...
Judges by the pool
Local law enforcement
Cheers
Dusk...
Actually after this photo there is a huge gap in my memory, I remember it being really dark when I made it to bed, and I was sitting around a campfire for a while, but apart from that...
The old Palace at Olite
Impressive entryway
Across the rooftops - you just don't get stuff like this back home (of course this castle is 2-3 hundred years older than NZ...)
a cool old window
These trees were in front of the church, there were about 20 of them , and if you follor the branch from one tree to the next, you'll find that they're actually joined. Weird huh? One of the trees is even ringbarked, but still alive due to its connections to the other trees.
An olde worlde Street
The old bridge in Estella
Sunset near Estella
The Fireworks were very impressive...
The Pamplona town hall by night
The narrow street running from the main Square towards the park. How does Pamplona support so many Bars?
a Balcony view of the Bull run...
... note the guy running for his life straight in front of the Bull...
This shot taken 0.5 seconds later... and the guy has ducked off to his left
You can see Brendan's head in this picture of a guy about to get slammed by the bull
an amusing Billboard
(of course in reality, the bull gets slaughtered in the ring while the guy gets slaughtered in the bar...)
at the campsite, just before we leave
Our bus broke down thanks to Jane's "Pyrenees curse"
on the bus back to London
On the ferry, What a beautiful day.
   
   

All these pics were taken at 2MP (1600x1200) resolution, but I'll be putting much smaller versions up here, for a few reasons, the first bunch is to do with size, space and speed, the second bunch is to do with rights to these images - I took these pictures (except where I state otherwise), I'm proud of them, I want people to see them. However I (Tim Cox) retain all rights, now and in perpetuity (that'd be 'forever' for those thieving bastards out there).

That said, if you email me nicely, I'll consider sending you a larger copy...
(you should be able to figure out the address to mail me at from the domain name, but I'll refrain from putting it here so those evil spammers don't get a hold of it and deluge my inbox)

Cheers

Tim
