These photos were taken on an evening out with my daughter in the "Writers' Quarter" of Madrid - she wanted to learn how to use both a digital and analogue SLR. I'm beginning to realise that the "Golden Hour" is a double-edged sword - shooting away from the setting sun is great, but shooting towards the sun can generate such a huge contrast, the foreground can be totally blacked out if you measure for the highlights, or if you measure for the lowlights, the sky gets burned out. Actually, come to think of it, I forgot to change the ISO setting on the camera from 200 to 100, and I was shooting 100 film faster. Thus, I had to push the development an extra two minutes, giving some pretty wild contrast!
These photos are of the ancient Egyptian Temple of Debod, which was rescued in the 1960s from an area due to be submerged bh the construction of the Aswan dam on the river Nile. Egypt donated this, and various other temples, to the nations who most contributed to the construction of the dam. Spain won the first prize, Debod's temple. Thus, there is an ancient Egyptian temple in the centre of Madrid!

These photos are taken from the exhibition "Barrios" (neighbourhoods) of the Spanish photographer Javier Campano. The exposition shows the meteoric growth of Madrid in the 1970s after the death of the dictator Francisco Franco; the slum clearances, social opposition to speculation and the destruction of communities, and the monumental change in the social fabric of working class Madrid. Even though the exhibition is now over, you can still see some of the works online. https://phe.es/exposicion/barrios-madrid-1976-1980/
