Reflections of Alhambra

A second look back on our trip to Granada and the Alhambra Palace back in 2006. This is the Palacios Nazaries.

"This is the stunning centrepiece of the Alhambra, the most brilliant Islamic building in Europe, with perfectly proportioned rooms and courtyards, intricately moulded stucco walls, beautiful tiling, fine carved wooden ceilings and elaborate stalactite-like muqarnas vaulting, all worked in mesmerising, symbolic, geometrical patterns. Arabic inscriptions proliferate in the stucco work." www.lonelyplanet.com

Herb Riddle replied to David G Johnson:

Took some nice shots on this visit Dave. I cannot remember if you visited here too on your trips to Nerja. We were luck at that time and year that there were hardly any crowds but here we see one of the few tour-led groups passing through.

Cheers. Herb

Good that you liked this one too. I have a lot of choice for that CWP and so I rather doubt that this will make it.

Herb Riddle replied to Keith Burton:

Another for the snap-shot book Keith. The reflections are world famous and my alignment with this small camera was a bit off but it still worked OK. Thanks for the nice words from you.

Cheers. Herb
