Estación de Madrid Atocha

The Atocha train station is a very surprising train station. Right in the middle of it there is an oasis. Rail tracks have been moved further to accommodate palm trees and… turtles.
I grabbed my now legendary wide angle lens for a shot that hopefully captures the oasis that stands in the middle of a train station.

Of course what kept us busy was something smaller than the huge palm trees. Somehow we manage to spend a good 30 minutes taking pictures of the turtles. I’m glad we didn’t have a train to catch that day, as we would have missed it for sure, lost in turtle land.

Feed me – turtle

Key challenge when taking a picture from a turtle from far away is that turtles are not as still as one could believe. They move slowly, but they move messing up with your shot.
