Hi Malgorzata,
a perfect framing to there offer us this splendid sight of the Palace of Communications, which nowadays is the Town hall of Madrid.
I like to be able to see all its architectural details, and the great whiteness of the building, which is very elegant.
When I saw this building in 2010 it was totally covered by the scaffoldings for its restoration.
Excellent photo.
Best regards,
Josep

Bonjour Malgorzata,

Le point de vue nous montre le bâtiment superbe dans toute sa splendeur. Le blanc est plus que blanc et le bleu du ciel le met bien en évidence. La légère contre plongée lui donne beaucoup d'ampleur.

Amicalement
