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.

I like the first one Bryan. I like going out when there is a fresh dump of snow on the roads before they get maintained. My Jeep plows right through it. The once crowed roads around here suddenly get quiet.

Remembering my Rolleicord back when it worked.

Austin, great job on your Railroad Bridge. To me it has the appearance of Model Photography.

Best regards,

A photo of my daughter working, seen in the course of traipsing around the house, making some exposure tests. a snapshot in that sense, though a tripod was used.

And the dog is hard at work testing the carpet for comfort! D23 certainly kept highlights under control. Test or not, it is a beautiful picture.
