Out in the street yesterday with  my Olympus and a fast telephoto lens.  Like so many cities in Europe,  it’s hard to see evidence of the recession in Madrid. Much more obvious in London in fact.  This area of Fuencaral/Malasana has many flourishing speciality shops. I don’t recall whether this one was for dogs or humans, or both. The dog seemed happy enough though.

The wind is very strong at the moment, but the skies are clear.    Sand blowing off the beach has a pretty abrasive effect on camera lenses, so its important to stay…

  • The fashion watchers

    ByDMcA

    The fashion dummies just can’t make their minds up.  Shot in Salamanca, Madrid on my way to El Corte Ingles (the Spanish Harrods, and meaning “the English cut”) for lunch. This is the swish Madrid equivalent of Knightsbridge, or Mayfair, although nicer ( and at the moment, warmer).
