Calle de la Fé
We are living on Calle de la Fé, Faith Street, in Madrid. Every street in Madrid has a little pictorial representation of the street name at each end. So how do you represent 'Faith' in a picture? A lot of nuns? No, apparently the best way is to have a heavily-armed Spanish soldier expelling a few Moors from the country. I like it here.

breath of fresh air in this overly politically correct age of ours, what?
People seem to insist on a fair number of breaths of fresh air. However, considering that there's a mosque and a Sikh temple down the road from us, it might, just conceivably, have been meant ironically.
and just conceivably, the Spanish soldier may actually be showing them the way to the two temples, in which case this becomes a picture of convivencia, and the street thoroughly deserving its name.
