Milan y Madrid

From Tuscany to Milan, countryside to cityscape and I remember very little about the place save for adding a leather jacket to my suitcase….so there’s no real Milan photos to show you here.
Arrived at Madrid in the super crazy 35 degree heat and was a little worried at the dominance of sunlight and department stores until we stumbled across PHE09 beginning with an Annie Liebovitz collection right outside our hostel. Turns out these exhibitions, big and small, are scattered throughout Madrid city and so today has been a bit of a treasure hunt, with scores of contributions from photographers all over the world, from around the 1930s to the present day. Definitely a very welcome escape from the heat, we’ve had our eyes opened to the lives of the ordinary and the not so ordinary, from mere existence, to technical masterpieces all in the name of art and the business of storytelling. It makes you wonder what makes a good photo, or whether that doesn’t really matter all that much in the greater scheme of things.

All that said, here are some pics from yesterdays meanderings throughout Madrid, most of them taken in the evening after a full belly of tapas and sangria!

Had no idea what Joel crossed the road to do but he came back with this photo which I quite like. A lot of Madrid is currently under construction…this is a picture of the central ‘Sol’ station. Sol means sun. There is a LOT of sun in Madrid…








This last one is my favourite :)

Back later, xx!
