Our 'moorish' tower on a sunny day. Algete street scene no. 12

C'est vrai que c'est un bon repère ,il est bien visible..!
Bon Dimanche.

Thank you, Malik!

Nice to see such an original building.

Thank you, Jean. Yes I agree!

Interesting to see the cars parked opposite to the traffic direction.

As far as I know, there's no rule against this as long as traffic can flow in both directions. But I did notice it and wondered if someone would comment!!! From an article I read somewhere, Ron it seems that traffic laws in the US are very strict. I heard that if you were caught crossing the road other than at a designated pedestrian crossing point you could be imprisoned for life and the shame would extend down 4 generations!

Fabulous capture! Stay well!

Many thanks, William!

I see this is quite near to Barajas- do you get much noise from air traffic?

It's not too close really, Gudrun and the answer is that I've heard about 2 planes in the 2 months I've lived here this time round (Covid restrictions no doubt). 10 years ago when I lived near here, I don't remember it being a problem but then much of my life has been lived near Heathrow flight paths so perhaps I'm immune!

Yes, it's also much quieter in our town! I guess it will take some getting used to once air traffic picks up again.

Very well shown, Andy ! An interesting building !

Indeed! Thank you, Ulrich!

Jolie compo !!!

Thank you, Boro!

Better than if it was a concrete cube like we see everywhere !

Quite right! Thank you, Isabel!

A lovely street scene Andy.

Hi Andy

A very nice picture, which I really like

I remember this tower form a previous picture (but I couldn't find it). I also seem to remember that lack of windows is so that government employees don't spend all day looking out of them!

Best Wishes, and stay safe!!
Peter

Thank you, Peter.
I posted one of this in the fog about 2 weeks ago so it will be fairly recent in my gallery; perhaps back one page.
Pleased you like it!
And yes, I have heard that story too but these are volunteers who look after the interests of the little community that is effectively a private estate, although no longer gated.
Best wishes,
Andy

Fantastic building and to hear that it's a modernish one - it's great.
