Nuevos Ministerios. HFF everyone!

Nuevos Ministerios. HFF everyone!
A vast complex designed for the Republican government by the renowned architect Secundino Zuarzo. Work started in 1933 but was Interrupted by the civil war. It was completed in 1942 after stylistic changes were made due to Franco's dislike of modernism and the art-deco style that Zuarzo preferred. Zuarzo resigned from the project after the Nationalists won (I'm being euphemistic here) and it was completed along the lines of Franco's more stolid tastes.
Typed whilst listening on the radio to the strangulated collapse of the government in Spain and the far more interesting news of Zinidiane Zidane's resignation as manager of Real Madrid. Amazing! Who knew just how much influence Gareth Bale had there? Certainly not I!!!! (certainly not me? No. Certainly not I!, an improvement. Better: Not me, Guv! - Yes, that's it! :o)

Another interesting city scene Andy. You must have as many of these as Cornish seascapes!

HFF & have a great weekend, Herb
5 years ago.
Andy Rodker club has replied to Herb Riddle club
Thanks, Herb.
I have extremely few city scenes.
The reason is this:
I am normally rushing between my Business English classes (simply English to adults, in companies or privately) either on the bus or underground. If class locations are close enough to walk, or if there is little option, then I walk. Normally I am in a rush to get to the next class on time so can't stop for photos. I would love to walk everywhere (good exercise apart from anything else) but I am paid by the hour I teach, so travel-time between classes needs to be as short as possible!
Have a good weekend.

His successor will be an interesting appointment!

Andy Rodker club has replied to Roger (Grisly) club
Many thanks, Roger but do you mean Pedro Sanchez or Zidane's successor?
Anyway Sanchez is more of a basketball man. He used to play it with one of my students, they were schoolmates.

No Zidans's successor,

Well, it could be Guti. And that would be incredible. A great player but a maverik and loose canon as a player - Best google or Youtube him to see what I mean!

I have performed miracles this week to be only 3 days behind, Fred. This weekend and next week will be impossible as I have FAR more important things to do so I will be one week behind. I will soon have to miss whole weeks of members photos. Sorry; yours included.

I haven't started on HFFs yet, am still on last Thursday. And I doubt if I will be able to make serious inroads into the backlog for a while either! I know people say it doesn't matter, but I like to keep up. It's not as though I spend hours a day on Fb!

I missed this one Andy - apologies. Lovely composition and I like the hanging lantern. From this view the grounds look well tended and it looks like a haven of peace, - but from your notes maybe not!

It's OK, the design is relatively pleasing, but these are the grounds of the ministry buildings and not for hoi poloi like you and me!
