Subject: [Leica] Alhambra, Nazrid Palace

The Alhambra's Nazrid Palace has fantastic Moorish architecture. It 
dazzles the eye, and can be overwhelming.  I didn't have a lens wider 
than 40mm equivalent. So I concentrated on small slices and details, 
doing my best to avoid the hoards of people all around me.

This is one of my favorite views. This was the Sultan's prayer room, 
with a lovely view of the old city of Granada.

A courtyard. Our tourguide, Tarek, is talking to Katya.

woman on the right was from Indonesia.

This is a different building, the palace of Carlos V, begun the the 
1500s and finished in the 1950s (!).   The courtyard looks like a bullring.
