Chueca
If you leave mainstreets of Chueca neighbourhood you can find some extraordinary facades, sometimes like in this foto with a little garden in front of it. Chueca, the centrical little square and the underground-station, whose name is dedicated to the composer Federico Chueca, is the most gayfriendly neighbourhood in Madrid. Once a high-criminated zone, it developed in the late nineties to an vanguardian and modern neighbourhood. But: there are lots of senior citizen who always had been lived there. It is the tolerant way of living I like, this contrast to see a couple of two men and an aged woman buying bread in the same shop.

belle gestion de la lumiére et des ombres sur cette photo.
nice management of light and shades on this photograph.
People should be more tolerant in many ways.
we should all be tolerant - and i am glad to hear about crime free neighbourhoods
we have lots of mansions- style houses like this one, but unfortunately, they are not well-kept, often in disrepair, and there is little money invested in them. instead of being the jewels of our town, they are eyesores instead
Nicely taken shot!! This photo was taken in night or daytime?
Foto urbano-nostálgica, linda, em suma :-)
Abraço!
I took it at 10 pm, one tuesday night. The light you see on the facade is of a latern (here in Spain is many light all the night).
excellent capture. such detail and I love the backlighting. very interesting!
Sounds like a wonderful neighborhood.
Is that door made of steel or aluminum? Or is that just because of the lighting? It's fascinating. And I love the iron grill over the door!
Sounds like an interesting, sweet and friendly neighbourhood! What a pretty little facade and semi-secret garden.
Thats one friendly neighbourhood. Tolerance is a virtue :-)
Beautiful shot. I too like the light and the color is interesting. Natural or did you desaturate it some? I like the tones of gray a whole lot!
