The Yellow Room at San Ildefonso de la Granja
(the summer palace, in the hills northwest of Madrid).
|
|
An indoor fountain on the ground floor of San Ildefonso.
|
|
The chapel at San Ildefonso.
|
|
San Ildefonso, exterior view from the garden.
The plumbing for the cascade is being repaired.
|
|
Similar view, I was hoping the mounted merman sculpture would show more clearly since
it's getting some sunlight.
|
|
Me at the foot of a tree in another part of the garden.
No editing was used; the tree is just big, since it's about as old as the palace.
|
|
View up the cascade from the palace windows.
This only shows a small part of the gardens; they go back most of the way to
those hills.
|
|
One of the gates of Avila.
|
|
One of the walls of Avila. View towards the river.
|
|
Illuminated psalter. On display in the Avila Cathedral.
|
|
The old Roman road. It's still fairly smooth.
Notice the posts every so often, to help people find their way in the fog.
|
|
Madrid. El honorissimo Don Quixote.
|
|
Madrid. View of cathedral from courtyard of Palacio Real.
|
|
Inside the Museo del Prado. According to a passing Italian tour guide,
it's a sign of genius to have a portrait within a portrait.
But I figure two can play that game.
|
|
Me on the steps of the Prado (waiting for a nearby restaurant to open
-- Janine was having a sushi craving).
