Downtown Madrid. I guess it's inspired by the myth of Icarus. The sun melt Icarus' wings and he fell into the sea. :(

Two fallen beings more. Me and Lucifer (a.k.a. The Fallen Angel):



And now, angels. Cemeteries anyone? I mean those Romantic graveyards with 19th-century sculptures, neo-Gothic pantheons and that kind of aesthetics. Three years ago I took these pictures of a 19th-century pantheon in Madrid:


I wish I had more photographic abilities, because in a Romantic cemetery the artistic possibilities are immense.

The Art-Noveau style is very "photogenic" too. These two mausoleums are at the same cemetery. The sculpture at the right is a Pheme.

Another camera from a bootsale.
Cost me a staggering 1 euro (about 1,25 dollars :D)

There you go. 1.3 megapixel power to the rescue!

^ You'll have a museum soon. :) BTW, maybe you're right about the affordable Kodak's: results are often impressive. I still take very good photos with my three-year-old compact. I'm very pleased with the night pictures. I only need to use a pocket tripod.

There you go. I have one more analog camera somewhere and about... 7 or 8 videocams, only one digital. Couple of old Pansonic shouldercamera's (MS1).
I get them really cheap. Just can't say no, have to try them out :D

Eitherway, I had to make that picture with my telephone as all my camera's were lying there, so I took the little canon on the upper right corner to provide you with a clearer view on things:

There you go.
My phone is now in the upper right corner.
I have quite some phones too...
And to think that I sold a lot of stuff lately... I just have too much :D

How does your cup produce light?

Sansa Stark 02-22-2011 09:30 AM

It's a flash light :)

Oh wait :D
You are trying to make a cup and saucer :D
I thought you were using a cup and saucer :D.

Today, I've been at the Almudena Cemetery, one of the largest in Western Europe. I carried my camera. There are tombs and tombs and more tombs. A giant necropolis. Hundreds, thousands, millions of graves...



A true "city of the dead". Five million souls. More than Matrix's living population itself. Near the entrance, there is a chapel. This chapel:


And at the top of its dome, an Angel of Doom:


He remains seated, quiet, with his trumpet on his knees. He patiently waits. Because this Angel of the Lord is not in a hurry. He's just waiting. Waiting for....



When the seventh seal is broken, the Angel will stand up and sound his trumpet. And the dead will rise from their graves...

And then, to many, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth...
