Ventana a la Alhambra
Posted by Paco Díaz (Palma de Mallorca, Spain) on 19 August 2008 in Cityscape & Urban.
One of the great testimonies of the Arab civilization in Spain (711-1492) is the citadel of the Alhambra of Granada. On the left is the palace of emperor Carlos V, XVIth. century.
This photo is taken from an arab window in the Albaycín.

Almost like a painting, this arch is somewhat surrealist. Great light and clarity.

Beautiful, Paco. Using the arch as a frame seems natural - but getting the color and light this 'right' adds up to a nice image.

L'Alhambra est effectivement un endroit merveilleux mainte et mainte fois pris en photo. Tu as réussi à en faire un cadrage original en l'encadrant avec cette fenêtre arabe. J'aime beaucoup.
