HFF, Everyone!

HFF, Everyone!
Motorway and fence(s). Madrid.
On my way from metro station to class, crossing a Madrid ring road.
I have looked at the 'location' mapping notes and apparently this area of Madrid is called (translated) 'Valley of Springs'. Charming! but not so today, alas.
It amuses me that this motorway ring road is called the M40 (only Londoners would understand my amusement!)
Sight and sound: R.I.P. Barrie Masters. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NOgFUWkQJM
I liked Eddie and the Hot Rods and like early punk but fully agree with Barrie Masters when he said his band wasn't punk but a current version of rock and roll. I gather he didn't much like punk, even though he is heavily associated with its origins.

Thank blue, Jaap!
And yet blue does dominate because all these barriers were painted a bright blue (probably in 1979, and repainted twice, in 2002 and again in 2009. Pure guesswork (but based on the boom and bust economic cycles of recent history).

What do we need springs? The water comes out of the tab ... :-/
A real (sub)urban image. Great, that column "cutting" the car in two.
Many reasons for having good fences there.
HFF.

Andy Rodker club has replied to Leon_Vienna club
That column has also obliterated the cab of the lorry passing through, going the other way!
On my walks in the Mountains of Madrid there are some well sited springs with good, potable water and I re-fill my plastic (whoops! sorry!) drinking bottles. .. good quality water. (As far as I can tell!)
Many thanks,
Leon

Hi Andy

Motorways are the same the world over, but probably none much worse than our M25 (except perhaps Paris peripherique..)

Great composition

Best Wishes, HFF, and a good weekend
Peter

Andy Rodker club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club
I agree with all that you say about motorways, here. I experienced the M25 almost from day one and I guess I used it at least twice a day for 25 years. I have also driven round the Paris périphérique a few times. Madrid's roads after those two don't seem so bad!
Thank you Peter and best wishes,
Andy.
