I was minding my own business taking in the AMAZING light (once again) here in Madrid, and as the sunset was unfolding in front of me, I turned around just to see what was happening behind me (a tip from some admired photographer friends of mine: be sure to look behind instead of exclusively in front of you, to catch the unexpected) and lo and behold, this shot jumped out at me. It’s only now that I look at it enlarged a bit to notice that it reminds me of that famous Seurat painting that I loved seeing recently at the Chicago Art Institute- minus the hats and parasols, obviously. Kind of makes me want to break out into song.

Life in Madrid – colorful, beautiful, and definitely not dull, and definitely a thing to be grateful for!
