One day in my city, Madrid

Some years ago i took pictures of Madrid, the city that i was born, years after when i saw it them, i saw myself involved in a different kind of thoughts, my mind inspired in some kind of intend to find some sense in this city, in his streets, plaza de Santa Ana, Madrid of Austrias, Puerta del Sol, etc. After that i edited those photos, i wasn´t sure about publish them, now this photos have something, they have incorporated a message for me and for all the people that wants to feel free to share with others, the paricular way to see our world, now i know that this is enough reason to do it , share with others and enjoy all the comments that everyone wants to tell.
  This is a tourist that recently came out of zara store, there some similitude between this girl and the maniky behind in the window of zara store.
Enormous contrast between the maniky that it wears winter clothes and the girl in the street that it wears summer clothes.

Sometimes is funny give colour in specific parts of a black and white photograph, even i try to simulate a sunset, the result was nice because I would never be at that time of the sunset.
The singularity of this image is enough to made myself feel that less is more, Mies van der Rohe.
A girl at Atocha station walking around , maybe came to receive someone who arrives at the city.
Teatro Español at principe street and plaza Santa Ana

This is calle carretas, close to Puerta del sol.

Again someone at Atocha station, i likes the way it feels a person alone in this place, everyone goes by without looking back.
This is the typical brewery or tapas bar at Santa Ana square, preserves, beer and olives.
Typical hotel of pop art style , Alicia Hotel at Santa Ana square.
Aerial view of the platforms at the Atocha station.
