Smiling in the Rain

This young couple obviously didn’t mind stepping out into the rain after leaving the Madrid Metro at Gran Via Station in the city center. It was really rainy, the long weekend that Big Boy and I did spend in Spain’s capital on the occasion of attending the Madrid Game of the NFL’s international series at Bernabéu Stadium. While carrying my Fuji X-T2 in my backpack most of the time, I ended up shooting the whole weekend with my iPhone 16 Pro Max only. Which is perfectly capable of handling my street photography. In this scene, I took three shots of the couple as they left the Metro. The third image was the keeper, with the girl smiling in the rain.

Have a great Sunday

Shared Silence

Shared Silence | Madrid | 2025

A scene from a wet and chilly night on the streets of Madrid. A young couple seated in front of the Catedral de Santa María la Real de la Almudena, across from the Royal Palace. Leaning into each other, enjoying a moment of shared silence while the city moved around them. I don’t know what they were looking at on that phone. Maybe a photo of a friend. Maybe a message, or a train schedule, or nothing important at all. But in that frozen instant, the world outside stopped mattering.

This is the kind of thing I’m always on the hunt for with my Street Photography. Not grandeur, not drama, but the gentle realities we walk by every day. Snapped with my iPhone 16 Pro Max. Postprocessing in Lightroom Classic.
