View Of Toledo by El Greco

The storm erupted from a charcoal-bruised sky lashing spindles of platinum rain upon an emerald heath tossed in trenchant wind. Among the hedgerows and linden the first spires emerged like shoots from turned loam followed by the pitch of tiled-stone roofs and pewter walls of lambent unblemished granite. The damp auburn clay, etched by a teal river, birthed a soaring imperial city, its cerulean patina to ever scintillate in sun's timeless effulgence.
