Photographer’s Note

The Mezquita (Huge old Mosque with a cathedral implanted in the Centre) in Cordoba has to have one of the most magnificent interiors of any building I've been in. If you go early (8:30 -10:00) you get in free and tour groups are banned. After 10 tour large numbers of tour groups descend on the Mezquita.
If you get there at 8:30, like we did, you have the place almost to yourself and are able to takes photos at will without crowds getting in the way.
Within the mosque there are masses of these pillars surrounding making for a rather surreal vista. Where I took this photo from I had a view along 2 directions, one straight ahead and the other at the diagonal. It was inside with a little natural light so I took a hand held photo using a high ISO (3200)- as a result there is a little noise but the result is much better than the ones I took using a flash.
