The Spain Pictures, la la la

• Archway in the courtyard of the, crap, the big main palace in the Alhambra.
• Window looking out over Granada from a meditation chamber in the Alhambra.
• King's courtyard (or something) in that special palace in the Alhambra. I should have gotten a book. Oh hell.
• The countryside as seen from one end of the Alhmabra.
• A pretty fountain in, uh, the Alhmabra? I think it was - don't remember where. Man, I suck at this.
• The exit from that special palace. I particularly like this spot, if not this shot.
• Cori on the Alcasomething - the big tower at the end of the Alhambra.
• More Cori with the Alhmabra behind her. Golly. I suppose I just can't get enough of her! Go figure.
• The Palace of Charles V (I think it's the fifth). Also known as THUNDERDOME. We even saw a bunch of Spanish schoolkids playing at gladiatorial combat in the middle.
• A walk in the Generalife. This is when we had no choice but to concede that those Moors really knew how to live. This walkway is one of the paths to the summer home of the king.
• The Alhambra as seen from the Generalife.
• Granada as seen from the Alhambra.

• The Cathedral in Seville as seen from the side. It's the 3rd largest cathedral in Europe (after St. Peter's in Rome and St. Paul's in London).
• The Giralda. A leftover minaret from the mosque that was ousted to make way for the cathedral, this tower goes up 320 feet. 230 of those feet can be accessed by a sloping ramp that was built to accomodate horses. Yes, horses.
• Magnificent. Seville rocked.
• Cori, about to venture deeper into the Alcazaba (the palace of Peter the Cruel, in Seville).
• More architectural splendor in the Alcazaba.
• Queen of the Alcazaba.
• Gardens in the Alcazaba. You have no idea how big this place is. Trust me.
• More in the gardens. So when does my bust go up, I wonder. Time to invade Spain baby.
• Chapel of the new-age monotheistic death cultists. They had boss interior decorators, I have to admit.
• Fountain of Mercury. That refers to the god in the middle, and does not imply that the pool is full of insanity-causing liquid metal. I had to fiddle with brightness levels to make this thing visible which is why the sky seems grey. Sorry!
• The real gardens of the Alcazaba. The other gardens were puny in comparison.
• The Baths. They looked spooky so I took a picture.
• The view from our hotel window. I kid you not. That's the big mosque that we didn't photograph because we couldn't do it justice. Our hotel was the El Conquistador. Cool, huh.
• My new summer residence.
• Beneath the bridge in Cordoba. That's the Rio Guadalquivir, I believe.
• Cordoba as seen from just off the bridge.
