This is where I watched Spain beat paraguay in the 2010 world cup! It was in a bar with a great view of all of toledo. The sun was setting during the match giving both a spectacle in-game and out!
Last week I had a photo session with a couple of student actors/actresses at the Parque Juan Carlos. It was a good experience since I was learning about portraits – not something I do that often and I was experimenting with flashes in broad daylight. We (a whole bunch of photogs) tried using umbrellas and reflectors but kept getting bugged by the park’s security guards who accused us of being professionals (professional photographers need a special permit (€€€) to take photos in parks for comercial use) so we had to put those away.
Massive thunderstorm came out of nowhere on a hot and dry summer night (last night).
I couldn’t get a shot of the larger ones as the rain wouldn’t stop pouring into my room (and onto my computer!!)
Last week a colleague from Barcelona came to Madrid for a couple of days. He didn’t know Madrid that well since he always makes short trips to the capital so I decided to take him out for a short photowalk after work. There is a particular area in Madrid that can be visited on foot and gives you – the best of Madrid in a couple of hours. Click on to see the results! Also, Alberto is an excellent photographer, you can see his work here.

La Noche de San Juan – The Night of Saint John is the night the summer solistice is celebrated in Spain. Although the shortest night was on the 21st, this festival is always celebrated on the night of the 23rd with some bonfires which are meant to symbolise the burning of everything bad. It is common for people to jump over bonfires and to drink away all night with music being played. Kids participate too! (in the jumping over flames, not the drinking!)

What started as a photowalk visiting an exhibition on eco-friendly houses turned into a photowalk around the area of Principe Pio (oddly enough I left the exhibition without a single photo). The first photo is of an opera that was being performed in the Templo de Debod celebrating the “European Music Day”.

There is not much to say about this church except that it’s modern look reminds me a bit of a certain church in Liverpool.
