San Lorenzo de El Escorial.

Whatan incredible colour to that sky Andy - you are very lucky. I love this contrast between the golden colour of the building and that gorgeous sky

Thank you, Jenny.
When I first came to live in Spain, I was bowled over by the constant bright blueness of the sky! I was too enraptured and began to take far to many photos of it; being English, that is a natural reaction!
However, It's a bit like a mint chocolate with your coffee after a meal. One or two are just right, but a dozen or more would start to cloy!
A few members on Pano started to say (politely, in the main, of course) that they were getting a tad bored with the sameness of my shots; all granite and blue sky and I realised they were right! I started to prefer photos with some cloud for variety. As it happened my first year here was a particularly dry one and the skies have been much more varied since, to my relief and to the relief of the Spanish who would rather prefer not to have drought conditions as prevailed in the first half of 2011!

A beautiful wide view !

Gorgeous contrast between the color of the stone and this beautiful blue sky, Andy !

Impressive buildings; very well captured Andy.

Excellent shot and nice colour contrasts!

Magnificent building!!
