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. <https://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/23601664422/in/dateposted-public/lightbox/> A detail of an archway, upper wall and ceiling decorations. <https://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/23684134426/in/dateposted-public/lightbox/> A courtyard. Our tourguide, Tarek, is talking to Katya. <https://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/23414526210/in/dateposted-public/lightbox/> Katya resting in front of some typical outdoor tiles.

The courtyard looks like a bullring. <https://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/23710184265/in/dateposted-public/lightbox/> Olympus E-M5 and Panasonic 20/1.7. Enjoy! --Peter
