Day 5 the Alhambara Part One


This is a shot of the ceiling in one of the rooms in the Alhambra.
Yes, that is Adam and I kissing at the top of the reflection pool!

So much detail went into this amazing palace!
This is what the court yard looks like!
They were working of restoring a fountain while we were there.
Everything had so much detail in it. It is hard to imagine people carving out these intricate patterns all by hand.




The tile work was all so beautiful! I had a hard time stopping myself form taking hundreds of pictures of them.






This was one of the courtyards. I heard a tour guide said that a reflection pool were a status symbol. The bigger the pool the more power you had.



The was the summer palace. It was not to far away from the main palace and it was just as beautiful.


Granada, the town where the Alhambra is located it the city of the pomegranate. Every where we went in the city there was pomegranate's.
It was hard to take a bad picture! Every step you took was another amazing view! No wonder we took 1000 pictures of the place!



The beautiful city of Granada, as seen form the palace.
