La Catedral de Sevilla

Gothic turrets.

I was too close to the subject when I took this picture. An example on how NOT to take a picture :)

The Honey Comb Vault of the Hall of the Abencerages at Al Hambra

"The honey juice is provided (symbolised) by the honey comb vault of the Hall of the Abencerages representing the world most fascinating vault. Here the interlocking of small squinches of lozenge shapes which project from the walls produced a cell very alike to the honeycomb organised in an eight pointed star. The drum of the star carries 16 windows two for each side of the star allowing enormous amount of light in to dazzle the eye."

The Emirs of Granada had a keen eye to what Earth of Paradise is like.

Al Hambra is definitely a Paradise on Earth.
