TRAVEL TO LONDON

I went to London some years ago for four days with Spanish friends, so that I spoke certainly less English than I expected. However not only did we spend a fantastic holiday, but we also learnt interesting things about art, history and English society. In fact, not until I saw with my own eyes the most famous London's monuments, such as the Big Ben, the Tower of London or the British Museum, did I realise how magnificent they were. 

 Needless to say, I am highly satisfied with the decision of making this journey, otherwise,  I  would have never enjoyed such a funny and rich experience.

PICTURE

     It is a peaceful landscape, which produces in me  feelings of balance and hope, because of two factors: the variety of soft colours that have been  employed and the use of the light.
     In other words, although most of the landscape was painted with cold colours, such as green, blue and white, there are some brushstrokes of bright yellow and pink that make the atmosphere not sad at all. Moreover, while the left bank of the river is dark, the right side is lighting. Not only does it seem that the sunbeams shine on across the clouds, illuminating this latter place, but it also looks that they will soon reach the opposite border.
     Apart from this, I suppose that the author didn't want to attract the spectator's attention neither to the wide river, in the central part, nor to the radiant grass and trees.  It is clear that he wanted to focus on the small horse at the bottom of the picture. Maybe he would like to become this animal, fleeing in this way from his stressfull  life as well as from the noisy and polluted world.
