Architecture is the reflect
of a personality full of pride and toughness.
So when you get to see
these fantastic skyscrapers on Madrid's skyline, you come to dream to go up
once. Hopefully, at once, the dream comes true...
Above : 4 emblematic
Madrid's skyscrapers from the Kio Tower.
Below : Espacio Tower just
before I went on the top of it… The lift rushes up so fast, the body fights against height effects… Strange effect. Up there, you can see the sunset on the
mountains, and all the lights turned on little by little just like fireflies…
Madrid is hiding treasures,
like this view of the Bernabeu Stadium from another skyscraper here...
From the statue's feet, I
have a perfect point of view on the towers' perspective… and the ambulances' dance.
Just behind me, the children hospital "Peace".
Drawing the towers while
winter night's approaching makes me freezing. I rush in the closest bar, and
realise it's the hospital's. Children are sliding on their rolling-drip-set.
It's crowdy there, and there
aren't that much tables. A family sits by my side. Gipsies with a proud forehead
and strong eyes. A couple, weather-beaten
old man, and black hair clenched teeth old woman – two big guys follow them. A
blond woman joins up. Suddenly, one of the tall guys jumps with shaking
shoulders, and cracks up in tears.
Then the others are unable
to keep theirs anymore, they start to cry, but silently, proudly.
The young blond lady dries
her big blue eyes and supports the others with a strong look : "Didn't you
hear what the doctor said : for the child, everybody's here, doctors, nurses,
everybody, everybody. But for the family… We have to be strong."
