[2004-11-25] Salón de Embajadores, Real Alcázar

Sevilla, Spain

Ceiling of the Hall of Ambassadors in the Real Alcázar palace in Seville.

I searched my harddrive but couldn't find any of my rather
pathetic photos of wild turkeys, so I'll just follow yesterday's theme.
The huge Real Alcázar royal residence was an Islamic complex from
the early Middle Ages that was adapted by later Christian rulers.
The current domed ceiling in this chamber dates from 1427, and the
balconies in the upper walls date from the late 16th century.

Canon PowerShot G2
1/60s f/2.0 at 7.0mm with Flash full exif

Lovely. The textures are most fab. And one can play optical tricks with it too - convex v. concave.
