Spain - Andalucia - Cordoba Mosque interior - sepia
The beautiful interior of the Great Mosque of Córdoba was not an easy place to photograph. As you can maybe imagine there was quite an extreme range of contrast from the darkest shadows to the white light of the Andalucian sun. It's taken quite a bit of post-production work to maximise detail in the highlights and the shadows.
From Wikipedia : 'The Mezquita (Spanish for "mosque") of Cordoba is a Roman Catholic cathedral and former mosque situated in the Andalusian city of Córdoba, Spain. Under the rule of Islam, it was built as the second-largest mosque in the world, and is perhaps the most accomplished monument of the Umayyad dynasty of Cordoba. After the Spanish Reconquista, it was transformed into a church, and some of the Islamic columns and arches were replaced by a basilica in early Baroque style. Today it houses the main church of the diocese of Cordoba in Spain.'
