Here’s a quick look at a guy hanging posters in Madrid. Was amazing how fast he cleared off some of the old ones and brushed on the new ones.

Thread Color

Here’s a look at the color rendition from the Nikon Z9 with the 50mm 1.8 S lens.

This thread on sale at a fabric store in Madrid, Spain. I like the colors, even in this degraded jpeg image sized to fit on the blog. Nikon does great with realistic colors. One of the reasons I’ve always been a Nikon user.

American Airlines Flight 740 to Madrid

Just for fun, I made a little video showing the takeoff, meals, and landing on American Airlines Flight 740 from Philadelphia to Madrid, Spain.

 

It was a great flight. Excellent crew, good food, and safe. Looking forward to many more like this.

La Mallorquina, Madrid (2014)

La Mallorquina located on the Puerta del Sol in the heart of Madrid is a pastry shop you don’t want to miss.

They’ve been around for more than 100 years and for good reason. All the great things inside will delight your taste buds. I’ve been here many, many times. I’ve taken pastry to parties, back to my hotel, and given them as gifts to friends. Worth every euro. They’re old school here, boxing your selections in these handsome containers:

To find out what’s inside, you’ll have to visit yourself! Sorry, but it’s worth the trip. Enjoy every meal, and dessert, too!
