The Royal Palace and Almudena Cathedral (Madrid) - video footage with music...

My phone announced to me yesterday that I have to free up some space. Not to my liking when I see this message, as it means that I need some extra time to select all the photos and videos I do not need anymore. Those that I would like to save, I will copy to the external hard disc, but all this takes some time (which I am in a fight with). However, the good side of that activity is that you find some records you completely forgot about them. That is how I found some forgotten short videos that I took in Madrid and some photos.

I was taking the photos during our visit with our old Nikon camera and those already came in this post, but some of the shots I made with my phone to send to my family that same day. And they stayed there, forgotten, until now.

The video you will see in this post is made from a few shorter ones. The footages represent the facade of The Royal Palace, the main facade of Almudena Cathedral, and both of them being me in the middle, on Armory Square. I remember it was a cold day, we can see that everyone was well wrapped in jackets. Although the day was sunny, still, not those temperatures we are used to having here on the coast.

The Royal Palace is impressive. It was impossible to take a photo of the whole building, but the same happened with the Cathedral. I was trying to take a regular photo but also zooming out. Not the best achievement, as it seems the Cathedral wanted to take a nap {lol}.

There were attempts from another angle too, here we see it from the other side. With a lot of people on Armory Square. Well, I suppose that was the reason I recorded the video, to see it later with more parts of the building. When I found those short videos, I put them together and recorded some piano music for the background. I played a song called Hymn, well a part of it as it is longer. Composer, you all know it, right? Vangelis!

And when you ask yourself what this last photo is dong here...? What connection with Madrid, The Royal Palace or Almudena Cathedral? Well, that is the view from that square, Armory Square toward to mountains. With the camera, it was not successful to take a photo of the snowy peaks, so the phone served the purpose. Maybe we have to zoom in to see the snow on the top of the mountain, but snow is snow. You will have to believe me. Or not :D

So the video comes now. Stays as memory and maybe a trigger to go back and do a better one. Also, a wish stayed, to visit the interior of the palace as this time we didn't have so much time to wait in the long queue for that visit. Hope you enjoy the sight and the music!
