HFF

My mother's garden, Saint Day, Cornwall. My girlfriend almost got caught out and got in the shot but she saw what I was doing and ducked out of the way! And ducking out of the way, for a lass of 6 foot 2 inches, takes some doing, I can tell you!

Villaverde Bajo station, Madrid Province.

Principe Pío metro and main line station, formerly La Estacíon del Norte, Madrid..

Walked past this small local public garden almost without seeing it. I will have a look when I have more time.

Colourful playground fence. Algete, Madrid Province.

Madrid, Azca Business Park, Spain, Europe, The World, The Universe. (just a little bit of help for those who, like me, like to geo-locate photos). I have taught in most of these buildings at one time or another.

(HFF 2) Madrid, Rio Manzanares, Puente de Los Franceses, GR10 waymark on tree not noticed when I took the shot but it indicates that we are on the path crossing the peninsula from Valencia to Lisbon. I think the fungal growth above the waymark is a common species but I have no knowledge of these things. Perhaps someone will know what it is.

Principe Pio Mainline and metro transport hub. Madrid.

The Arganzuela footbridge: spiraling conical bridge spanning Madrid's Rio Manzanares.

The Madrid metro system calls itself 'One of the best in the world' and for once the marketing hype reflects reality. As I am continually rushing between classes all over Madrid, I need to be confident that I will never have to wait more than 7 minutes for a train (4 in the rush hour). As I am only paid for the actual hours I teach, travel time is money lost and so a speedy and efficient system serves me well!

Another unedited one from a small album where it shouldn't be! (If unsure, please see my comments to my previous upload).

My Mother's garden.

The Valley of the Ambroz, on the minor road between Candelaria and Hervás, Sierra de Béjar, Cacares Province.

Just got it in, in the nick of time! The original Muslim wall, Parque de Muhammad I and the Almudena cathedral, Madrid.

Garden, St Day, Cornwall (for Pam)

Sorry I haven't visited your gallery for over a week but I'm very busy. It's as much as I can do to upload 3 photos each evening. I hope to catch up soon! View from a terrace at a previous flat. Chamberí, Madrid.
