It was my first day in Madrid. I probably landed a few hours ago and since I had nothing plan for the rest of the day, I let myself get lost in the city of Madrid. I sauntered down the main streets and I walked through the hidden alleys. Then I caught a glimpse of a an angel between two tall buildings. Gut instincts told me I had to follow and so I did. At the end of the alley, I came upon this – Madrid’s Metropolis building.

    Thanks Ciki! That's what I was aiming for. I had to take the photo with my eyes closed because the sun was too bright but I finally got the right shot. :)

    Thanks Ayngelina! It took me a few takes to get it right. I wanted it to look like as if the angel was hover above the building. This is one of my favorite photos from Madrid.
