Looking past the throngs of tourists toward the Court of the Lions which is in the heart of the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain.
Built by Muhammad V between 1351 and 1362 it's a truly beautiful and uplifting architectural space.

@Martine Libouton: Thanks Martine!
@Jason Kravitz: Hi Jason - it's more about the tourists than the architecture isn't it - or how we interact with the architecture of famous buildings. I would have tried a long-exposure shot at this location to 'remove' the people from the shot however tripods are banned at the Alhambra. Re the 10 stop - if you're looking at any of my daytime shots where the exposure time is 2 minutes or more I will have used a 6 stop as well as my 10 stop so 16 stops altogether.
@Existence Artistique: Thanks!
