SYNOPSIS:
This book is the upshot of photographer María Morenés' day-long "adventure" through an unusual Madrid, covered in snow by Storm Filomena. Though this work, the author presents to us the friendly, beautiful side of the event. Her pictures are a reminder of that urban landscape, silent and deserted in the morning, yet enlivened by a multitude of people enjoying this abnormal weather later on. Her photographs, which travelled the world, portray with poetic sensitivity monuments, streets, statues and people under the white mantel that this rare blizzard covered them with.
