Thank you, William!

Can't imagine why! ;)

A poser, I admit, Steve!

This is stunning. A fine capture and a well-composed view.

Many thanks, John.
If you live / work in North Madrid these leaning towers are such an everyday sight that they cease to be 'stunnng' - especially as they have been part of the scenery since 1995. But of course you're right, and they are!
I used to teach at the top of the left-hand tower (top bods at Bankia). The views from there across to the mountains were spectacular. Unfortunately photography was prohibited for 'security reasons!'

A strange harmony between this "muddy" sky and these 3 threatening erections!
Hypodermic is topical!

'...threatenig erections' indeed, Eric!!!

Wow, a great photo. Great the atmosphere, editing and architecture...

Many thanks, Udo!

An outstanding image. The buildings and the sky are perfect together. Modern leaning towers. They give a feeling of instability which in a bank may be more appropriate than we care to think. Like the sculpture and its nickname.

Thank you, Jean!
Please see my reply to John FitzGerald above. I taught at Bankia for a few years.

A suitable name Andy! Fabulous image. I wonder how it feels inside the leaning buildings?

No feelings of instability at all. Perfectly normal, Even at the top of the 'leaning over' side!
Thank you, Rosa!"

beautiful image
wish you a nice day.

Many thanks, Annemarie!

Amazing architecture; well captured Andy

Thank you, Jaap!

Presque irréelle !******************

Presque, Jocelyne mais ... !!

Twins who don't want to separate..
Superb image with a splendid light and cloudy sky, Andy

Indeed, Judite! Many thanks!

Thank you, Judite!

Impressive scenery, Andy ! Urbanity !

Thank you, Ulrich!

Andy. WHAT AN AWESOME PHOTO ! you did great in composing this view. That sky is so dramatic! the buildings so unusual and interesting....I agree also about the Hypodermic Needle :) a really great shot, Andy. best wishes, Sarah

Thank you, Sarah. The buildings were revolutionary when built in the mid 90s. The 'needle' was added in about 2010

Pisa has a leaning tower;

Madrid does better: it has TWO leaning towers !!!!!

Excellent photo! *****

Ha ha! Thank you, Nouchet!
Although it has to be said that these were built by design, not accident!

The two atypical guardians of the Castellana. Threatening clouds.

Many thanks, Anton!

well done perspective

Many thanks, Leo!

Wow, dramatic buildings and your image suits the scene well. I get the point about the sculpture. :-)

The remark is a bit disparaging, George as it isn't much liked!

Haha, people come up with apt names! I wonder what they call the leaning towers;-)

Good point! I don't know!
Thank you, Gudrun!

... urban geometry ... and those clouds!! ...

Thank you, Wally!

I love the moody sky.

Thank you, Joe!

Very interesting to see the different styles of architecture
