Love all the photos on this ^ page Austin, John, and tuco - and the previous pages too. They all remind me to really think about, and simplify, my compositions. And to really think about what my subject is/are. Great inspiration.
Thanks, Chris
Thanks, Dick, Bryan, John, Chris, I appreciate the kind words.
There has been a lot of good stuff posted here lately; it heartens me to see my photographer brethren continuing to get out in the world and make pictures.

Hi!
I've been reading a lot about the history of the infrastructure of water distribution in Madrid.
I've discovered a wonderful photographer of the XIX century that illustrated the working progress of one of the main achivements of that works, the "Canal de Isabel II", circa 1860.

I've decided to follow his steps ;-) No, really, but ...
As Madrid grew, it needed more water. More infrastructures were needed. So, the "Canal del Jarama" was build. The Jarama river is one of the main water currents in Madrid. Several dams were raised in the mountains ridges near the capital, and many waterways ("canales)" were built to carry the water from these dams to Madrid.
I took this photographs near one of the most beautiful villages in Madrid, Patones de Arriba. But what caught my eye this time were the pipes and auxiliary buildings of the "Canal del Jarama".

It's often difficult to get snow pictures here as the roads are simply not maintained like they need to be, since snow is a rarity. But today it was just high enough temp to keep the roads relatively okay but didn't melt the overnight snow quickly.
