THE ALHAMBRA
Visited: September 2007
THE ALHAMBRA
One of Spain’s major tourist attractions. A UNESCO World Heritage Site. BUILT BETWEEN 1238 AND 1358. It’s located in Granada and can be reached by a public bus.
BOTH A PALACE AND A FORTRESS
One of the most famous and best preserved monuments of historic Islamic architecture. One of the ‘Seven Wonders of the Muslim World.’
LOOKING UP
Here’s one of many chapels within the Alhambra. The walls and ceilings are all. ‘Hand Chiseled’ plaster.
The more I traveled, the more I began to realize what a wonder filled world we live in.
SLOW DOWN AND SMELL THE ROSES
Today many of us are living a fast-paced life. TV … e-mails ... Computers … Internet … Cell phones.
Studies show a rising number of addictive disorders with younger people who are heavily into social media and extreme internet use.
We need to reconnect with the natural world. TRAVEL and PHOTOGRAPHY helps us do that.
We need to slow down and smell the roses.
