A water colour painting on hot pressed paper of an Olive tree in Malaga Spain … inspired by this poem.. “ / Under the olive tree / I sat, I watched, I listened / Through scorching heat of summer / And biting wintry winds / At harvest time the olives fell / Drumming out their plight / Abandoned, they were cast away / Forsaken, no one gathered them / A waste, while ambitious men nearby / Ran to catch the wind.” anonymous. Marcha real- first experimentalpainting of an Olive tree.. .....

Toledo Cathedral in Toledo, Spain, is ranked among the greatest Gothic structures in Europe. Inside, the cathedral contains important masterpieces including a spectacular baroque high altar and two paintings by El Greco. Toledo Cathedral stands on the site of the Great Mosque of Toledo, which itself had replaced a Visigothic church. Built from 1226 to 1493, the long process is reflected in Toledo Cathedral’s variety of styles. This was taken inside one part of this beautiful Cathedral, on film, and the print was scanned to digital. The camera used was an automatic Pentax 35mm film camera and that is all the information that I have. This shot was featured in the Iberia Group.

This was taken inside the Cathedral of Toledo, in Spain. It was taken on film and the print was scanned to digital. The Cathedral of Saint Mary of Toledo, also called Primate Cathedral of Toledo, is a church in Spain. The seat of the Archdiocese of Toledo, it is one of the three 13th century High Gothic cathedrals in Spain and is considered to be the magnum opus of the Gothic style in Spain. It was begun in 1226 during the reign of Ferdinand III and the last Gothic contributions were made in the 15th century when, in 1493, the vaults of the central nave were finished, during the times of the Catholic Monarchs.

This is the Cathedral of Saint Mary of Toledo, in Spain. This was taken on black and white film. This was printed and then the print was manually (using chemicals, not Photoshop), changed to a sepia print by me, in the darkroom. The print was then scanned to digital. The seat of the Archdiocese of Toledo, it is one of the three 13th century High Gothic cathedrals in Spain and is considered to be the magnum opus of the Gothic style in Spain.

These archways were found in Madrid, Spain. I used a Canon DSLR EOS 350D camera. This shot was featured in the Tunnel Vision group.
This was taken from the plane while I was flying from London, UK to Barcelona, Spain on April 21, 2008 with my Olympus FE-340. Not much to say about how I got this photo; I just had to get a good seat, hold the camera against the window and let nature do the rest of the work :o) / / Also available at Zazzle This work has been featured in / ‘Too Bright’ Works By Category” Featured/Popular* Early Works [pre-university] / Origami / Drawings,Paintings and Graphics / Abstract Photography / Guessing Games / / Flowers, Trees and Plants / Water and Waterscapes / Scenery/Skyscapes / Light, Shadow, and Reflections / Still Life Living Creatures / Human Portrait Japanfluence / Canada / Europe
Blue against blue, an architectural detail shot in the sleepy spanish village of La Herradura on the costa Tropical of Granada.
Figure out the situation, I’m sure pretty known to you… You fly through thousands miles in different country just for looking at some great architectural creation. You think how you’ll make great shots of this building. You dreaming about it even during your sleep and… you’re there. But what you see… / Your dream is under construction. No great shots, just great frustration… It’s what exactly happened to me when I arrived to Barcelona, to my dream, to Sagrada Familia. This piece of art, probably the best creation by Gaudi, was covered by construction stuff and between the towers of the cathedral I could see just construction cranes… La Sagrada Familia is probably the most famous building in Barcelona and one of the most well known in Spain. Gaudí worked 43 years on the construction of the church, and the building is still not finished (the construction work is supposed to end sometime in the 2020’s). La Sagrada Familia will have 18 towers representing the 12 apostles, the 4 evangelists, Virgin Mary and Jesus. The Tower of Jesus will be the highest: it will rise from the center of the church and go up 170 meters – the towers that have been finished are 109 meters high. So… I figured out how it will be during that crazy day, when will be Grand Opening. I can imagine it because I’ve been in Barcelona when Barcelona socker team won the World Cup. Guess it will be crazy shooting around (just by photo cameras, I hope)...
Crypt of Almudena Cathedral – Madrid , Spain
Almost everybody knows the story of Scheherazade a legendary Persian queen and the storyteller of One Thousand and One Nights… The frame tale goes that every day Shahryar, a Persian king would marry a new virgin, and every day he would send yesterday’s wife to be beheaded (as we know it’s not only eastern custom, just remember the life of British King Henry VIII and his wives). Shahryar had killed three thousand such women by the time he was introduced to Scheherazade, the vizier’s daughter. Scheherazade volunteered to spend one night with the King but asked if she might bid one last farewell to her beloved sister, Dinazade, who had secretly been prepared to ask Scheherazade to tell a story during the long night. She didn’t finish that story to the end of the night and continued it and many others during the next thousand nights. At the end of one thousand and one nights, and one thousand stories, the King had fallen in love with Scheherazade, and had had three sons with her. So, having been made a wiser and kinder man by Scheherazade and her tales, he spared her life, and made her his Queen… This is the story but I think that Scheherazade deserved the love of King not only for her fairy tales. / It said she was a beauty and as every eastern beauty could dance. I guess her dances (between the stories) were as well enchanting as her tales… I remembered all this when I was in a Palace of Alhambra in Granada, in it’s Harem where many other beauties told the stories and enchanted other kings by love and dances… The literal translation of Alhambra, “red fortress”, reflects the color of the red clay of the surroundings of which the fort is made. The buildings of the Alhambra were originally whitewashed; however, the buildings now seen today are reddish… The city of Granada had many turns in it’s many centuries history. Ibero-Celtic settlement, Ancient Greece and Rome, Visigoths, Moors (almost 800 years)... and Castilian Crown. For all that time the city had many rulers and many names: Elibyrge, Illiberis, Elvira. Pre-moorish sephardic community established itself in what was effectively a suburb of the city, called “Gárnata”... and don’t forget that “granada” means pomegranate in Spanish and is the heraldic device of this city. All this transformed in my mind into fantastic picture – the beautiful girl between red walls makes the dance of love, stepping on pomegranate seeds covering the ancient stones. I figured out myself as an ancient king enchanted by this beautiful girl, who’s dance I saw… in reality in small tablao of Albyzin – old moorich district of Granada.
