Homage to César Pelli. Shot taken through very thick glass, which seems appropriate as he loved working with glass!

Cuatro Torres (Four Towers), Madrid. Snow-capped Sierra de Guadarrama on the horizon.

This view from one of the towers is just as beautiful. Seeing the snow-covered mountains in the distance with the city in the foreground is wonderful.

quite the view Andy, the light bouncing off the mountains really adds to the image. It really draws your eye into and through the image. :)

The thick glass has proven no obstacle to achieving a spectacular photograph. Bravo.

Think I'll start carrying a piece of thick glass around with me.

Great work, and mesmerizing.
