Work was started on the Catedral de la Almudena at the end of the 19th century on the site of the old Santa María la Mayor church to honor the patron virgin of Madrid. The first stone was laid in 1883, but progress was extremely slow. The cathedral wasn't consecrated for worship Pope John Paul III until 1993. While the inside of the church is in a Gothic style, the outside is baroque.

'The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.' ~ Marcel Proust, writer, Paris, 1871-1922. My photographs are not merely a record of what was before my camera, but rather my visualization of the place and time as I remember discovering it, be it a particular mood, impression, or ambiance. These images may bring back memories of your own travels or they might inspire, you in some small way to venture off and maybe discover exciting, new landscapes of your own. But in the meantime, consider placing one of these photographs on your wall as a window to foreign lands. A note to those who purchase one of my images, you have my deepest thanks. I am honored that you have chosen one of my photographs...
