Imperfect geometry - This pic was taken after having my first experience of aereal dancing. As I went out of the school I though the contrast was so interesting between my experience some minutes before, so exciting and inspiring, and this dark corridors, cold and empty but with some beauty in them despite of it.

Ivory ! These ivory elephants were brought to Spain 40 or more years ago. I think they were purchased in the actual Equatorial Guinea, then a Spanish colony. Today ivory trade is completely forbidden for good reasons.

Four giants under the fog
These four skyscrapers constitute a business complex accomodating mostly offices, but there are also services such as a hotel and a garden. Furthermore, each tower has several underground levels for parking and road access. The construction of these four buildings began in 2004 and work was completed in 2008. Over 820 feet high (248 meters!!), the Caja Madrid Tower is the tallest of the complex, and in Spain as well. It was designed by Norman Foster. The floors are organized in the same manner as a bookcase.
