Madrid: 4 Hours in the Rain

January 15th. The rain was washing over the streets, and the city was turning into something else. Four hours following the neon reflections on the pavement, wandering through familiar spots and new corners I had never noticed before.

La noche del 15 de enero llovía como hacía tiempo que no lo hacía, y la ciudad se convertía en otra. Cuatro horas siguiendo el reflejo del neón en el asfalto, recorriendo los sitios de siempre y nuevos rincones que nunca había sabido ver.

1月15日。雨が街を洗い流し、その姿を少しずつ変えていった。ネオンの反射を追いながら4時間。いつもの場所を歩き、これまで気づくことのなかった街角を見つけていった。
