A man who gave his name as Jose, feeds birds from his hand in the Retiro park in Madrid, Spain, Tuesday. The Retiro Park, a beautifully tended 350-acre garden space where city-dwellers go to get away from the metropolitan hubbub lies in the heart of the city. Originally the formal gardens of a medieval palace, it became King Philip II's 16th-century refuge from court preoccupations, as well as his religious retreat.(AP Photo/Paul White)
