Dome, Mezquita-Catedral, Cordoba

Dome, Mezquita-Catedral, Cordoba, Spain

The small, intricate dome above the Mihrab in the Cathedral-Mosque of Cordoba is stunning, although you have to lean up against the iron fence protecting the Mihrab from the hordes of tourists to see it properly. Worth a crick in the neck, I think!

Fantastic art work with so much rich details, especially in B&W they pop out. It looks like lace, so delicate!
Definitely worth a cricked neck

This works very well in black and white. I only wish the image were larger so my eyes could take in more of the details.

  Thanks Steve. That’s one of the down-sides of the blog format, I guess – it doesn’t handle large images well.
