Tunnel in the Metro station - Madrid, Spain - Often metro stations in big cities are home for some who like this style of life (I believe that some people live like this, because this is what they want and like...)
Prado Museum - Madrid, Spain - Yes, what you see in the middle is real... Goya!!! I was so lucky to be able to see all this yesterday :) - open it in x2 to see more details. * I was told that no photos were allowed, after I took this shot, so no other shots from the museum...
July 13, 09 Madrid at night it was 10.30 pm, and 33° C The image is a little blurry, because I took it from the open tour bus, which runs till 12.00 pm :) From Internet: "In the center of the Plaza de Cibeles, a heavily trafficked roundabout that joins calle Alacala, Paseo de Recoletos and Paseo del Prado, is the Fuente de Cibeles, a fountain named after Cibele (or Ceres), the Greek goddess of the Earth, agriculture and fertility. The fountain depicts the goddess in a chariot pulled by two lions. The lions represent Hipómenes and Atlanta, the great huntress. Hipómenes fell in love with Atlanta, but Zeus turned the two into lions for entering Cibeles’ temple and condemned them to pulling the goddess’s chariot forever. "
