Plaza de Colón, Madrid

Torre Colón, constructed in 1976, and next to it the smaller building in white and cream, Number 1, Castellana, where I teach once a week (a 1920s ceation, I believe).

Wow that is one big building - obviously the Town and Planning Officer wasn't paying attention when the application for construction landed on his desk - it's hardly in keeping with the rest of the place. I really love the smaller building - what do you teach there?

I'm an English teacher, Jenny. I specialise in teaching Business English to senior executives. There is a demand here. My 30 years of experience in financial services in London stands me in good stead!
(Possibly, if not probably, the planning officials were sweetened with the right inducements to swing a favourable verdict - hard to prove of course and the word 'allegedly' is a BIG word here!!)

Thank you Herb,
My two digital cameras both have issues with battery charging at the moment and it just isn't a priority to get them fixed. I hope to do so at some point. So for the past 6 months or so, I have only been using my phone. In fact since I rsumed taking photos in 2010, I would guess that maybe 75% of all my uploads to Pano, 23hq and Ipernity have been on one or other cameraphone or smartphone.
I do miss the times I spent, long ago, with my Pentax ME SLR and assorted lenses and one day I might go back to an SLR and use those lenses again!
