In Cordoba, Spain, construction of the Great Mosque began in 784, and continued for 200 years. When the Christians took over in 1236, they began building chapels in the sahn (courtyard), and turned the minaret into a bell tower. In the 1500s the sahn was converted into the nave of a cathedral.

The Amalfi Road winds about 30mi/50km from Sorrento to Amalfi along the Mediterranean coast. Officially it has two lanes, but that often seems a rounding error, especially if there is a bus coming in the other direction. Among the countless hairpin turns, sometimes the a cliff overhangs the

Godfrey, that is a very powerful image. The lighting, colors, and poses work together very well, and the exhausted stare on the face of the dancer is the finishing touch. Rick > On Feb 18, 2019, at 9:40 AM, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: > > Some might consider this NSFW although it's pretty tame.

GESO (10) - Palatine Hill

Palatine Hill is the most central of the Seven Hills of Rome, and is littered with the ruins of ancient buildings, The light was challenging late in the day, and it’s a modest collection: https://rickwomer.smugmug.com/Italy-11-2018/Palatine-Hill/ Comments appreciated! Rick -- PDML

Dan, that's a really fine shot! The lighting, textures, and the horizonal slats on the chair versus the vertical gecko work really well. Rick On Fri, Feb 8, 2019 at 10:53 PM Daniel J. Matyola wrote: > > I spotted this local hanging around the pool this afternoon: >

Back with a GESO (8) - Herculaneum

After yet more computer and Lightroom trouble, I’m back with another small gallery from Italy, this time from Herculaneum. Herculaneum lay north of Vesuvius; early in the AD 79 eruption the wind blew the ash cloud south to bury Pompeii. The eruption caused most of the residents of Herculaneum
