The Four Towers and street art.
The whole area between here and these 4 towers has been an 'on and off - mainly off - project' for many years to build many more such towers - I read 5 more, then 13 more and then 137 more (OK I exaggerate here!). I think envy of La Defense in Paris runs deep. They can't make up their minds. I think the street art might stay here for years!

Andy Rodker club has replied to John CassAndy Rodker club has replied to Keith Burton clubAndy Rodker club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne clubI did read a piece (in fact a four page pull out) in a newspaper about 5 years ago and a similar one a couple of years ago. They really do want to build many more.
But two things get in the way of ambition: lack of money of course, but also the recent major crackdown on corruption, heavily implicating (and imprisoning) many politicians and the major construction firms and banks. They're keeping a lower profile just now!

Yes, graffiti...okay, street art... is like cockroaches. (Well, technically, that would be ARE.)
Despite the above irrelevancies, that is an amusing shot
Andy Rodker club has replied to Diane Putnam clubIt is interesting (to me at any rate) that I have only ever taken shots from this angle. I've never been in a position to take shots that show how different they look from elsewhere in Madrid. Firstly, you are quite right, they are not all in a line but slightly out of kilter with each other and there is a larger gap between the middle two where there was to have been a taller, central tower.
Secondly, the only one which is as broad as it is wide is the pencil shaped one; the others look fuller from different povs and the one one on the right positively bulges out at the bottom, swelling along the line of the curve you can see. I might take the bus to the other side and look for a shot to illustrate these points. With fewer classes in the summer, I have the opportunity!
And thirdly, graffiti, mainly illegal, has been with you and us since the early 70s (maybe earlier in the New York subway) and I still dislike it intensely, in the main. But this lot is technically good, officially sponsored and does cheer up an otherwise hideous site that I have endured many times a week for 7 years and it has made a difference to my state of mind on arrival at a class in one of these towers or when returning to the station.
Glad you found the shot amusing!
Off to work!!
