Spain - Dark Clouds over El Escorial Palace
El Escorial is located in quite impressive mountain surrounding and view at it is stunning. I was lucky when it comes to weather too. Very stormy and dramatic clouds while sun still made it through to lighten up the monument.
"San Lorenzo de El Escorial" is more than the mausoleum of the Spanish Monarchs; it is a Palace and monastery complex. Located in the town of "El Escorial", about 41Kms. to the north west of Madrid's center, the Palace/Monastery is well worth the visit. It can be a stop over on the way to Avila and Segovia (by train or car) or you can get a guided tour from one of the tour companies in Madrid.

The drama on this one is amazing- I love how you've framed against that grey sky and just caught the most perfect light on the citadel. Superb.
