Relativity

This picture transmitted me hot when I first saw it back in June. Taken somewhere in Castilla: a single red flower in the middle of a wheat field, ready for harvest, is the best indication of the summer beginning.

Castilla - 2010 June - 2

After a couple of months, sweating at my place in Madrid, I envy those mild days with only around 30 degrees. Funny how perception can change.

Chamberi Station

Estacion de Chamberi - 03

More than 90 years ago, a subway station was constructed in the very centric Chamberí neighbourhood. It was the first line of the current 14 subway lines. This station worked for about 50 years, until due to the increase in the number of passengers, the local subway company decided to lengthen the stations of this line to make them able to handle the new long trains they started to use.

Chamberí station had to be closed because its situation made too complicated the enlargement works… and so remained until a few years ago when Metro Madrid decided to open it as a museum, allowing their visitors to travel in the time to the 60′s.

Normally, every couple of minutes a train passes through that station, as the line 1 is still there… but the day I went none did so. I could enjoy the station with no noise, as a subway workers’ strike was collapsing Madrid. Furthermore, visitors thought the museum was part of the strike, and there were no trains and no people.
