Woman Carrying A Bull by Vladimir Fokanov
I like this image a lot -- the wonderful cognitive dissonance between the nude female and the impossible weight of the bull carried so easily on her shoulder. She is not alone you know -- there are quite a few such images of women with animals hefted on their shoulders. And I find them all compelling...still trying to figure out what it is that pleases me so. In the meantime...I'll just leave her here engaged in her task and figure she and the bull will find a future place in the writing.
