You really have to see the full size version of this image to do it justice. Richardksa took it on a dull, overcast day, from the 8th floor of an office building on Gran Via, in the centre of Madrid. Looking out towards Moncloa, you see the peaceful city roofs, a privileged site that’s hard to come across as you move about in the hustle and bustle below.
Thanks to all of you that submitted pictures to the NFS Flickr Group this month, please keep them coming! The standard was very high as usual, and it was very hard to pick a favourite!

Looks like a more ordered, more modern Cusco, Peru.
Step back in time to 1800′s Madrid…

Are you sure that ain’t Brooklyn? Just kidding. It is a great image, nicely done Richardska!

What a great picture, Richard! Normally I have a preference for ‘sunny’ pictures, but this one is really really good. I especially like the tower in the middle and the structure of the roof tiles.

How pleasant to see rooftops with warm coloured terracotta pantiles rather then the sterile modern roofs in many cities. Well done Richard.
