[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Just a crop of the interior of the Catedral Mezquita in Cordoba. A magic place: you can breath beauty and spirituality in a surreal silence. Tourists almost disappear in the surrounding perspective of bichrome arches, while the red lamps shine softly in the middle darkness! You must go there to understand!
Spanish king Carlo V couldn't destroy it and regretted the construction of the church just in the middle of the mosque, because he recognized the perfect unique architecture of this wonderful jewel!
Now, however, you can see the church and the mosque, one beside the other, two different worlds in the same place.

Bella, Lau!
Mi piace il gico di prospettiva e trovo che il bianco e nero lo esalti particolarmente.

spiritualité dans un silence surréaliste a méditer, très belle architecture , peut être dans le 1er plan mettre 2 personnages légèrement flou , une idée a moi , toujours un 1er plan , j'adore le N/B A+ jpphoto

This is a nice shot. I like the POV and choice of black and white. It seems to be too grainy though. But a great shot nonetheless.

Ciao Laura,
nice b&w picture of thie architectural gem. I like the moorish monuments of Spain, and you managed it perfectly to capture the atmosphere of this extraordinary building. TFS.
Kind regards,
Roland
