[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
this photo is of the church of Saint John of the Kings(san juan de los reyes). i liked the architecture quite a lot. in the middle of the building, a huge plaza, with many trees (orange trees if i remember correctly)
Here is a bit of history i found about the place:
Charged by the Catholic Kings to the architect Juan Guas to commemorate their victory at the Battle of Toro in 1,476; in its interior the sculptures of the liberated Christian slaves are to be noted. the building, a beautiful cloister of late gothic and should be noted the roof of the second floor of mudejar style. Its church has only one wing with a starred base dome. The detailed great shield of the Catholic Kings held by enormous eagles are impressive.

excellent photograph, beautifully composed and beautiful architecture and great use of repetition and so fourth!! A+!

Πολύ ωραίο κάδρο φίλε Γιάννη. Πολύ ωραίος φωτισμός κάτω από δύσκολες συνθήκες φαντάζομαι. Ωραία "καθοδήγηση" του βλέμματος και επανάληψη μοτίβων. Μου αρέσει πάρα πολύ το πως εισχωρεί το φως στη σκια στο βάθος του διαδρόμου.Συγχαρητήρια!

Hallo Ioannis!
A wonderful mysterious and in the same time clear photo. The light gives the mysterious touch. The architecture of the vaults is really great! An informative photo with atmosphere - a seldom combination!
Greetings from Germany, and a happy Easter!

Hi Ioannis,
This is a beautiful image. Very nicely done.Good POV and the lighting is just enough to reveal till the end of the pathway.The architechture on the ceiling is marvellous.

Thanks for sharing - Vikram

Hi ioannis.

Nice picture. Only needs a person walking to give it a more "human" touch.

Excellent colours, shadows & sharpness.

Rgs, Oscar
