So, it’s essentially impossible to capture Madrid on film — the noise, the sun, the traffic, the people, the scale of the buildings — unless maybe you have an IMAX camera, which I didn’t. I stopped trying after a while, so what I’m showing here barely does this beautiful city justice. I found I did best if I focused on little things OR if I was up really high.
The screens are to create shade. The sun is strong!

There is a room reflected in this lightbulb; Patricia and I spent a lot of time in that room, because that is where my interviews took place. Eventually I could no longer resist the urge to take a photo of us in the reflective lightbulb. (Click to enbiggen.)

As the sun sets, the mountains are visible in the distance.
Many, many Madrid buildings are ornately decorated like this one.
