More Pictures of Madrid

These aren't "rescues" like the last batch of Madrid pictures shared here, but they do represent some reprocessing, and different crops from photos I may have posted in the past.  These were mostly taken in the near vicinity of the Palacio Real, the historic home of Spain's royal family.

My Favorite Photographer, Today

San Francisco

I was hoping to visit San Francisco this year to collect some photos, but a variety of circumstances made me postpone that trip.  So instead, I went back to my cache of photos from my 2013 trip and looked to do some rescues (as with the Madrid photos posted a few days back).  Here are some of the results.
