The last call (in 2010).

Photos, of course. There are no manipulation in them...well, I was looking for the best frame, that is all. I think you know what they are - anyway, I wish you a very good and happy New Year!

Bernabeu-Stadium

Famous Real Madrid's home-stadium is located in the northern part of Madrid, nearby the extended part of the Castellana-Avenue. It is called Santiago Bernabeu since 1955 in honour of the former president of the soccer-club. Built as Chamartin-stadium in 1947, it was remodeled in 1982 and in 1992. The last operation was leaded by the team of Estudio Lamela and the stadium gathered up to 80.354 seats, all covered by roofs.

Well guys (and girls): I want to wish you a Merry Christmas because today I will go to Berlin where lives my family. Have a good time, take care of your beloved people and try to relax.
See you soon. Yours, Martin

Parroquia María Micaela y San Enrique

Yes fellows, we are back. This time not for one post only. We promise to be more continous. There were a lot of people worried about us - thank you all but we are fine. Certain circumstances avoid to spend more time with this blog, so we apologize to you.
The church you see is a community-church of the Tetuán-neighbourhood nearby the Bernabeu-stadium. It is one example for the fine architecture from the end of the sixties you find in Madrid.

Back in Phototown

One of the most famous buildings of architect Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oiza the BBVA-Building (originally called Bank of Bilbao) is the entrance-sign of AZCA-Comercial and Office-complex. This building, designed in 1971, was errected between 1978 and 1981. In this photo the less-known entrance on the back-side.
