« L'Alhambra ! l'Alhambra ! Palais que les génies
Ont doré comme un rêve et rempli d'harmonies.
Forteresse aux créneaux festonnés et croulants
Où l'on entend la nuit de magiques syllabes,
Quand la lune, à travers les mille arceaux arabes,
Sème les murs de trèfles blancs. »
Victor Hugo - Extrait de « Les Orientales »
L'Alhambra (en arabe : الْحَمْرَاء, Al-Ḥamrā' , « la rouge », en raison de la couleur que prennent les murailles au coucher du soleil) de Grenade est un ensemble palatial, et un des monuments majeurs de l'architecture islamique et l'acropole médiévale la plus majestueuse du monde méditerranéen.
C'est avec la Grande mosquée de Cordoue le plus prestigieux témoin de la présence musulmane en Espagne du viiie au xve siècle. Leurs caractères sont d'ailleurs opposés : à la sobriété grandiose du monument religieux représentatif de la première architecture islamique, s'oppose l'exubérance de la dernière manière hispano-mauresque : celle-ci s'exprime en effet dans les palais des derniers souverains nasrides, alors en pleine décadence, et qui disparaîtront bientôt lors des derniers assauts de la Reconquista.
The Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It was originally constructed as a small fortress in 889 and then largely ignored until its ruins were renovated and rebuilt in the mid 11th century by the Berber king Badis ben Habus of the Kingdom of Granada who built its current palace and walls, and later converted into a royal palace in 1333 by Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada.
The Alhambra's Islamic palaces were built for the last Muslim emirs in Spain and its court of the Nasrid dynasty. After the Reconquista by the Reyes Católicos ("Catholic Monarchs") in 1492, some portions were used by Christian rulers. The Palace of Charles V, built by Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor in 1527, was inserted in the Alhambra within the Nasrid fortifications. After being allowed to fall into disrepair for centuries, the Alhambra was rediscovered in the 19th century by European scholars and travelers, with restorations commencing. It is now one of Spain's major tourist attractions, exhibiting the country's most significant and well known Arab-Islamic architecture, together with 16th-century and later Christian building and garden interventions. The Alhambra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the inspiration for many songs and stories.
La Alhambra es una ciudad palatina andalusí situada en Granada, España. Es un rico complejo palaciego y fortaleza (alcázar o al-qasr القصر) que alojaba al monarca y a la corte del Reino nazarí de Granada. Su verdadero atractivo, como en otras obras musulmanas de la época, no sólo radica en los interiores, cuya decoración está entre las cumbres del arte andalusí, sino también en su localización y adaptación, generando un paisaje nuevo pero totalmente integrado con la naturaleza preexistente. En 2011 se convirtió en el monumento más visitado de España, recibiendo la cifra histórica de 2.310.764 visitantes.

I uploaded a close up the other day of an island visitor feeding cabbage to one of these Aldabra Tortoises. In order to give a better feel for these lovely long lived creatures I thought I should upload an image that shows one in full. Although not native to this island these tortoises were a gift from the governor of the Seychelles when he visited in the 1850’s. The tortoise population has struggled a great deal but forty years ago the Tanzanian government posted a small military presence to the island to stop poaching. That has worked wonders and the population now thrives although it does have to put up with many visitors like ourselves. Unbelievably when we visited I had to intervene when an oriental lady sat on one to pose for her photograph. Needless to say she didn’t get that holiday snap.

I had a very nice (though immensely humid) hike yesterday,from the shores of Brother's water,up to the summit of Hart Crag.
Despite my initial reservations, the clouds and light were excellent for the majority of the 5hrs or so i spend pottering about.
Nearing the summit of Hart Crag the clouds kept rolling in and rolling out,while the sun would seize every oppourtunity to make a fleeting appearance.A heavenly moment to behold!!!!
