Charging Bull Near Wall Street Editorial Photo

This was shot in Manhattan, New York City on June 20, 2010. Charging Bull (sometimes called the Wall Street Bull or the Bowling Green Bull) is a 3,200 kg (7,000 pound) bronze sculpture by Arturo Di Modica that stands in Bowling Green park near Wall Street in New York City. The sculpture depicts a bull, the symbol of aggressive financial optimism and prosperity, leaning back on its haunches and with its head lowered as if ready to charge. The sculpture is both a popular tourist destination, which draws thousands of people a day as well as one of the most iconic images of New York and Wall Street icon — an unofficial symbol of the Financial District which has appeared in television reports as an image punctuating stories about optimism in the financial market.
