Rio Manzanares

Madrid, with the river in October awaiting the autumn rains. The ancient Puente de Toledo is in mid distance and behind is the Estadio Vicente Calderon, erstwhile home of Atletico de Madrid. I give classes close to the old stadium and now the only part still standing is the stand at the far left. Skyscrapers will replace the stadium. ... 'hooray' ... :o(
I saw the Rolling Stones at the stadium in 1982, a good concert!
A recent photo of mine taken from the bridge towards where I took this shot shows the river valley now filled with young trees, that weren't even saplings at this point in time (2011)! ... A quick change in 8 years.
