Photographer's Note
Here is a night picture of the Cibeles Fountain, a Madrid icon.
Cybele, the Greek goddess of fertility and nature holding a sceptre and a key while being pulled by two lions on a chariot. The pull of the wild lions symbolize the power of nature or of the goddess.
The Cibeles Fountain was designed by Ventura Rodriguez and sculpted in 1782. It originally stood outside the Prado Museum facing the fountain of Neptune. In the 19th century it was moved to the centre of the square where it is found today and adorned with other decorative details.

hello Malgorzata
You found an original way to capture the statue by incorporating the blue and red blurred lines of a bus passing. Use of a tripod or hand held with anti-shake system on, for your D90?
Congratulations

Hi Margorzata - Super rich colours and light with a fascinating juxtaposition between today's tranport and that of former years; a bus and a chariot! Speed and movement and wheels that turn no longer. Really unusual. TFS and best wishes Rosemary

Hello Malgorzata
it is very creative, dynamic and I found interesting the contrast between the Greek goddess and the modern context. I also like the association of the red and blue!
Have a nice WE

Hello Malgorzata,
this is kind of a surrealistic view :)
"Tempus fugit"!
The red colour with some bright elements makes the whole scene very vivid. Interesting composition.
Kind regards,
