Alhambra

_mg_0247_words

Trudged the long road to Alhambra early, to join the queue into the palace.
It didn’t fail to impress. The incredible intricacy of design really pays homage to craftsmanship, and the glory of Allah. It evokes the harmony of nature withour being a direct copy of it. The christen chapel within the grounds looks gaudy in gold, and clumsy in its representations and symbols.
Centuries old gardens, fragrant with flowers and musical with the play of fountains. Its close to being Eden. I don’t draw, I am overwhelmed.
Sleep and read the rest of the day away, feeling better for seeing something beautiful mankind has done.
