The cow pictured here is, of course, one of the many cows throughout Madrid. All are decorated differently, some for political propogation, some for artistic value, some just for fun. As we all know, the concept is similar to the horses in Kentucky and the Pandas in Washington D.C. What is most strinking about the cows is there ability to transcend cultural differences. On one point you see people from every background taking pictures with the cows. In another you see the cows decorated in every type of style or message. Furthermore, the concept that different cultures profit from the same idea or concept of expression is a concept that shows "People are people" despite the differences in culture or tradition we seem to share similar emotions and joys. These cows show that idea on several different levels - not to mention they are just fun.
