The black and white photograph shows two iconic Madrid towers captured from below, pointing up into the endless sky. Both towers rise majestically against the urban skyline, giving off a commanding sense of architectural grandeur.

The silk effect of the clouds is achieved by a long exposure technique, which has softened and elongated the movement of the clouds in the sky. The clouds seem to float and blur in a soft white swirl, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and serenity in contrast to the solid and firm structures of the towers.
