alhambra doorway, a photo from Granada, Andalucia

Photographer's Note

I spent many an hour wandering through the alhambra in Granada. It would seem that there is something for the eye almost everywhere you look.
Here, amongst the courtyards, is an elaborate doorway. I liked the glazed tiles here, framed by the doorway.
Such beautiful architecture, with the effects of time, tell many stories. A great place to wander round.
I thought about cropping this, but liked the wall decoration too much to lose it. Interested to hear what you think, as this was my first time taking photos in such a place.

Nice photo, very rich in ornament. I like the intricate details around the doorway and the combination of colours. Well captured!
