The Golden Lady of Santander

Street Photography in Santander, España

While outside of the Centro Botín museum, I began to explore the exterior staircases instead of being lazy and taking the elevator. That's when I spotted this square of sunlight on the walkway below. Initially I saw the typical tourists entering and leaving the frame and then she walked. The Golden Lady of Santander walked into the frame and at the right moment grasped her hat with her burgundy gloves displaying her shadow on the ground. It was as if there was a square spotlight from the heavens illuminating her, giving me a hint that I should capture this image.
