Mera Madrid – More of Madrid, People and Others

22 juni, 201522 juni, 2015 / Leya / 11 kommentarer

Madrid is one of my favourite cities, and of course I will take you for a walk once more. Hopefully you will recognize some places but not all of them!

The terminal – walking in – had a very nice arcitechture. This place was new to me as we normally don’t go here with Iberia.

Then Madrid met us with the same happy face as usual – but people and other little friends are always new and interesting.

Eating out is a must

…and some in their owner’s bag

At the museum of Natural History – No Spain without a bull

Hot, hot, hot…I don’t want to take another step – in any direction…

By night

One of my favourite places to go is the big city parc – Retiro. The Crystal Palace is the place where interesting exhibititions are up – this time the theme was nomad tents. The artist, Federico Guzmán.

The Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, or Queen Sofía Museum, is Spain’s national museum of 20th-century art. Formerly an 18th century hospital, but was renovated into a modern museum situated near the Atocha station in Madrid. It was officially inaugurated on September 10, 1992,

The museum is mainly dedicated to Spanish art. Highlights of the museum include excellent collections of Spain’s two greatest 20th century masters, Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí. Even if Dali´ is my personal favourite, the most famous masterpiece in the museum is Picasso’s painting Guernica.

In this picture is one of the elevators at the entrance to the Sabatini building.

Warsaw – A Miracle of Old and New – Stroll III

8 maj, 201510 maj, 2015 / Leya / 41 kommentarer

Time for a final stroll in Warsaw – a city of surprises. Much glass, interesting architecture. i fell in love with the University Library and its gardens. And also the pride of the city – The Copernikus Centre on the river Wisla.

The library, finished 1999, was invitingly modern and I knew it was to have a gigantic glassed garden terrace overviewing the river and surroundings.

The impressive entrance – a dream in green and lilac.

Indoors, much air and glass – again. We tried several assistants and guards to get to the glassed gardens on the roof…but…no, we were not allowed there. They didn’t open until…the next day!

Instead we went out in the lower garden to see them from the outside. Art work everywhere and interesting architectural ideas.

The glassed gardens are on the right and left side here, and the closed gates are on either side of the solar cells.

The huge middle ”half moon” would have been great to see from the inside as well – maybe a couple of weeks later with a green canopy.

Further down the road, on the banks of the river Wisla, is situated the pride of Warsaw, The Copernicus Center, ”Heaven of Copernicus”. In Copenhagen we have a centre built on comparatively the same ideas: Experiments and journeys in time and space; but we stayed on the outside this time.

Back in the city centre again. Of course I have to finish with Zlote Tarasy – ”The Golden Terraces”, in rain. For me, this shopping centre is a symbol of the new Warsaw.
