  2. Madrid through the eye of your camera is very interesting. Something different from the tourist photos.

  8. Totally confused here, Sophie, until reading the comments. I also never knew you lived in Madrid, then realised the photos were from a visit. You live in the US now? Though for a short while then back to Madrid? Lovely happy fun captures.

  10. Ah, that first is so lovely and romantic, Sophie! Great capture!

    Is that Puss in boots I see in the second? Cute kids there! They sure look alike!

    Hello Minnie! Must be a lot of tourists in your section of town. You see a lot of cartoon characters in NYC, especially around Time Square.

    Wonderful shots of your neighborhood!

    1. Thank you, Debby
      I felt so much loved just by looking at these young lovers around. :)
      Plaza Mayor is most loved not just by people living in Madrid, also is the major spot for tourists, you see these cute cartoon characters all year round.

  12. When you can turn a temporary neighborhood into an almost permanent one, that's great!
