This is El Retiro, in my home-town: Madrid (Spain), where people go and "retire" from the crazy city life - at least for a few hours, as the name of the park suggests. The light in July there is warm, not half as hot as any given summer day in Madrid. People stroll, skate, row boats, take naps, play bongos, sell handcrafts, and drink horchatas. Wish I could be there right now.

Beautiful monument... You caught it at a lovely time of day for the sun, too. Makes a good background.

We live in awe of that which we cannot see.

Great lighting - it sounds like a really awesome place to relax - or visit on a holiday in the city. Also a very good picture.

The lighting really does add to the picture. Looks like a great place to relax. The only thing i would change is to make El Retiro center when taking the picture. Nice capture
