Algete street scene no. 4

In the distance can be seen the Four Towers at the northern edge of Madrid (please feel free to open the note!) And another flawless blue sky (and a rare wisp of cloud!) The map says 'Asia Doner Kebab'. When I previously lived in Algete for a year (2010/11) there was a kebab shop here but it closed even as I was living here then. So Google maps aren't always completely up to date! Sight and Sound; I used to like this band then forgot all about them.Something sparked me into listening again and yes, I like their funky style! www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJomeuoDFlI

The Needles of Cancho Gordo, Sierra de La Cabrera. On full screen you can just see a smudge on the horizon near the centre and in between two prominent spires. This is the Cuatro Torres (four towers) complex in Madrid, the tallest buildings in Spain. I wanted to capture Madrid in the 'window' but no luck. That is a challenge for another day! Soler. A very Spanish composer. Sight and Sound: his famous fandango but on the piano not the harpsichord. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSRr9ASWODY

Madrid and the 4 Towers from the Casa de Campo

Unedited. I have lost the hard drive of my old computer and although the external hard drive seems to be OK and it is where my photos are, I can't associate it with my new laptop. Google has dumped Picasa, so my editing tool has gone. I had it on my old computer but that is history. How does Picmonkey work? Until I am able to associate my external hard drive with my new laptop, I will have a limited supply of uploads, and no new photos for a while.

The Four Towers

Cuatro Torres, viewed from a classroom window in 2011. Just after dawn (classes start early in companies). On the horizon, La Sierra de Guadarrama.

The shops at the station!

Graffiti (authorised) on the walls around Chamartin Station car park. Near the Cuatro Torres Business Park, where I take many classes. The station shop mini-mall must have contributed to the costs of employing well known street artists and they were able to have a plug for the station shopping mall included here!

A large park to the west of the city centre (formerly a royal hunting park) and from here overlooking Madrid's northern business areas
