Fabulous posts Mark. I love the angles. They convey the scale and grandeur.

Thank you Andy, Greg and Yildiz. That poker did not last long. :lol: Graeme is good. :)

Here is one more from Alhambra, Granada, Spain. I had my first DSLR, A100 for barely a week.
Still was getting used to the fact that I was a proud owner of a DSLR.

The second is shot in march 2011, the first in august the same year. I've been there 3 or 4 times the past couple of years. That place never bores!

Wow, the similarity is amazing, guys! :D (kidding)

Nice shots from both of you of the same dome and interesting patterns too. The Islamic shapes and patterns are very prominent. Lovely...



Thanks for sharing,

Mark,
At least yours look better to me. :)

It is the first time we had such an overlap. May be we could start a thread
on that theme and call it "Your take on popular icons" :lol:

Haha, that would be a cool theme Sury. I know you visited Rome, the Vatican and Vatican museum as did I. So I think we could go a long way doubling each others images :-)

Nice new dome! Where did you take that?

@Yildiz and Andy: thanks!

I am trying to recollect the location. Need to check that at home. If I were to guess,
I would say Cardoba or Sevilla. But it could be at church on Stanford University campus
in Palo Alto, California.

I wouldn't mind a ceiling like that. Would fit nicely in our livingroom :-)
