Rear window. Aitana Redó Manzano

This is a picture of the view that I can see from a window of my house.
In this photo, as  you can see  that there are many cars, some  are white, some others are  black and some grey.
There is also a lamppost  near one of the cars and on  the pavement there is a man walking his dog and it  seems he has just gone out  from his house .
Above the lampost, there are a lot of balconies with different awnings, as for example the  red one, which is in the  window next to the balcony.
On this street there are usually many people . I also wanted to add that from this window there is a nice view but the buildings are quite old. But I must  admit that I like this street because from this window there is always a good breeze.
I like my street !!!

Rear window. Joan Ortiz Vivas

It's a sunny day. In the photo I can see all the city and above it, a lot of clouds. The sky is blue like a sea, but the clouds are grey like a stone. Below the clouds there are a lot of buildings: one of them very big an the others very small. looking at the picture, I think it was made in the morning. I think it is a very nice day in the photo.

Rear window. David Almero Pena

This photo was taken from  my father's office window.
It  was taken on a  Thursday evening.
In the foreground I  can see some balconies, in the background there are some buildings. On the right there is a big tree that is on a small park, near the park there is a white van. In all the park and near the buildings there are a lot of streetlights. 
There are no people in the photo that  night but normally there are a lot of people mainly children, they are usually walking their dogs.

A VISIT TO THE TIN SOLDIERS MUSEUM IN VALENCIA.

Last Wednesday we went to Valencia to do a guided visit in English in a museum called the Iber museum.
When we arrived to the museum a group of students from el Drac were waiting for us, so first we met them and introduced ourselves in English.
Once inside the museum we met Bob, he was the guide and first of all  he started talking about the history of the building. It was the house of a rich family whose son had collected tin soldiers since he was very young.This museum has the biggest collection of the world of tin soldiers!!!
They were placed in a way that represented historical scenes like the Almansa's battle or the conquest of Valencia.We vsited all the museum listening to Bob's explanations and looking at the little soldiers which seemed to be alive.
The second part of the visit consisted of a presentation of all the Hollywood  films which had been made in Spain. We learned a lot about history and cinema and we also understood it all because the guide spoke in a very clear English. One curiosity is that we found out that the word "Cesarea" comes from Julious Caesar.
The experience was great because we met new students and at the same time we learned a lot of things!!!

This is a picture of the view that there is a window of my house.
In them you can see many cars : some white, some black, some gray ...
There is also a lighted lamp beside one of the cars and the sidewalk there is a man walking his dog and seems to just leave your home .
Beside the streetlight on the pavement there is a floor in no balconies above them and there are different awnings, as there is for example a red one.
On this street there are many people but that also makes this more quiet home . I also wanted to add that from this window there is a nice view but it's a very old house. But I admit that I like this street because whenever I trace me a good weather window breathe .
I like my street !!!
