Madrid - Thursday Evening
Posted by Jay Lee | Filed under Photography, Sony Alpha 100, Travel, Trip to Spain 2007
The Rick Steves guide book indicated that the Egyptian Temple of Debod was a good vantage point to catch the sunset in Madrid. Since it is a relatively short walk from the hotel we decided to head out after our siesta and catch it.
When we were there earilier in the day I surmised that as the sun went down the palace and the cathedral would be well lit for a photograph and I was right…
A small crowd gathered as the sun slowly descended toward the western horizon. It was absolutely beautiful and quite romantic…
Spain is so lovely at night. This is the cathedral that you see in the center of the first picture and is right next to the royal palace
We grabbed dinner at one of the local restaurants and drank some sangria while chatting with some fellow travellers who were from Toronto, Canada. Oddly enough, all the English speaking tourists we have interacted with have been from Canada.
