My desk. About 75% smaller than the one I dream of! There's also a chocolate bar wrapper lurking just out of frame on the left.
If you want something done right, do it yourself. I've been looking for camo covers and rain-proofing for my camera gear and haven't founf anything that really matches what I own. I broke down and bought a sewing machine and ordered some weatherproof fabric and have been teaching myself to sew. Started off with the tripod, next are covers for the lens and cameras.

The Alcázar of Seville, officially called Royal Alcázar of Seville (Spanish: Real Alcázar de Sevilla or Reales Alcázares de Sevilla),[1] is a historic royal palace in Seville, Spain. It was formerly the site of the Islamic-era citadel of the city, begun in the 10th century and then developed into a larger palace complex by the Abbadid dynasty (11th century) and the Almohads (12th to early 13th centuries). After the Castilian conquest of the city in 1248, the site was progressively rebuilt and replaced by new palaces and gardens. Among the most important of these is a richly-decorated Mudéjar-style palace built by Pedro I during the 1360s.[2][3]
The palace is a preeminent example of Mudéjar style in the Iberian Peninsula and also includes sections with Gothic and Renaissance elements. The upper stories of the Alcázar are still occupied by the royal family when they visit Seville and are administered by the Patrimonio Nacional. It was registered in 1987 by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, along with the adjoining Seville Cathedral and the General Archive of the Indies.[4]
Islamic era
In the year 712, Seville was conquered by the Umayyad Caliphate. In the year 913–914, after a revolt against Cordoba's government, the first caliph of Al-Andalus Abd al-Rahman III built a fortified construction in place of a Visigothic Christian basilica.[9] It was a quadrangular, roughly square enclosure about 100 meters long on each side, fortified with walls and rectangular towers, and annexed to the city walls.[10][11] In the 11th century, during the Taifa period, the Abbadid king Al-Mu'tamid expanded the complex southwards and eastwards,[10] with a new southern enclosure measuring approximately 70 by 80 meters.[11] This new palace was called Al Mubarak (Arabic: المبارك).[2] Various additions to the construction such as stables and warehouses were also carried out.[9]
Towards 1150, the Almohad Caliphs began to develop Seville as their capital in Al-Andalus. The Almohad governor extended the fortified complex to the west, nearly doubling its size. At least six new courtyard palaces were constructed in the old enclosures and nine palaces were added in the western extensions.[11] In 1163 the caliph Abu Ya'qub Yusuf made the Alcazar his main residence in the region.[9][11] He further expanded and embellished the palace complex in 1169, adding six new enclosures to the north, south, and west sides of the existing palaces. The works were carried out by architects Ahmad ibn Baso and 'Ali al-Ghumari.[11] With the exception of the walls, nearly all previous buildings were demolished, and a total of approximately twelve palaces were built.[10] Among the new structures was a very large garden courtyard, now known as the Patio del Crucero, which stood in the old Abbadid enclosure. Between 1171 and 1198 an enormous new congregational mosque was built on the north side of the Alcazar (later transformed into the current Cathedral of Seville). A shipyard was also built nearby in 1184 and a textiles market in 1196.[11]
There are few remnants of these Islamic-era constructions today. Archaeological remains of the Al Mubarak Palace are currently preserved under Patio de la Monteria. Several wall painting fragments were found that are now exhibited in the Palacio del Yeso.[9] The courtyard buildings now known as the Palacio del Yeso (or Patio del Yeso), the Palacio de la Contratación, and the Patio del Crucero all preserve remains from the Almohad period
Christian era
Seville was conquered in 1248 by Ferdinand III of Castile. The former Moorish palace-citadel was taken over by the Castilian monarchs and underwent significant reconstruction and modification, such that most of the Islamic-era structure has since disappeared.[12]
A Gothic-style palace was built on the site in 1258 for Alfonso X (Ferdinand's successor).[3] It stood on the site of the present-day Patio del Crucero, incorporating and preserving parts of the Almohad-era courtyard that was found here, including the Islamic-style garden divided into quadrants by two intersecting paths. Over these paths and around the courtyard, Gothic-style vaults and pointed arches were added, along with a hall divided into several naves. Corners towers containing spiral staircases granted access to an upper terrace.[13] Of the Gothic palace today, only the upstairs Sala de las Bóvedas and the Baños de MarÃa de Padilla, with their Gothic cross-ribbed vaults, have been preserved or partially preserved.[13]
In the mid-14th century, Alfonso XI commissioned the construction of a new throne hall known as the Hall of Justice, which commemorated his victory at the Battle of RÃo Salado (1340).[2] It is attached to the Patio del Yeso, an Almohad-era courtyard, and also serves as its antechamber. This new addition was made in a Mudéjar style, with stucco decoration and an overall arrangement of elements directly based on contemporary Islamic Andalusi architecture.[2]

In the 1360s, much of the complex was rebuilt by Pedro I in an ornate Mudéjar style.[2] The palace includes a monumental façade, a courtyard (the present-day Patio de las Doncellas), and a great domed hall known as the Hall of the Ambassadors (Salon de los Embajadores). A Latin inscription on the palace façade includes the year 1364 while an Arabic inscription in the Hall of Ambassadors gives the year 1366, which indicate the probable dates for the start and completion of construction, respectively.[2] The architecture of Pedro I's palace has strong similarities to the contemporary Nasrid palaces of the Alhambra in Granada, although the complicated chronology of construction and renovations at both sites makes it difficult to determine what roles they might have played in influencing each other's designs.[2] It is likely that Muhammad V, the Nasrid ruler of Granada and Pedro I's ally, sent craftsmen to Seville to help assist in the palace's construction and decoration.[14] Under the Catholic Monarchs, Isabella (d. 1504) and Fernando (d. 1516), the upper floor of the palace was extended and transformed into their main residence.[9]
The palace was the birthplace of Infanta Maria Antonietta of Spain (1729–1785), daughter of Philip V of Spain and Elisabeth Farnese, when the king was in the city to oversee the signing of the Treaty of Seville (1729) which ended the Anglo-Spanish War (1727).[10] Much of the old Gothic Palace of Alfonso X was destroyed during the 1755 Lisbon earthquake.[13]

You reach the point you don’t know what’s real and what’s not!
Is this a real flower? Or not!
Or.. we simply we don’t care .. As long as it looks NICE?
¡Vaya regalo de Navidad! Ha aparecido por el jardÃn este Pito Real. Es la primera vez que lo veo y le he podido fotografiar, aunque con falta de nitidez porque la imagen está tomada desde dentro de casa a través de la ventana.
Hace unos meses me embarque en un viaje junto a ocho mujeres deslumbrantes. Nuestra misión descubrir el significado de la belleza real recreando, cada una de forma peculiar, las distintas portadas y fotografÃas de la revista Vogue, biblia mundial de la moda y las nuevas tendencias.
QuerÃa saber si era posible ver más allá de la superficie. Más allá de lo que pone en frente una industria que condiciona mujeres con un estereotipo que venden como perfecto.
Las mujeres a continuación desfilan por las pasarelas de la vida con la única certeza de que se bastan por ellas mismas demostrando que la belleza real es lo que te hace único y como no hay nadie exactamente igual a ti eres el ser más hermoso que podrÃas ser en este preciso instante.
Definitivamente, todas pueden desfilar por una pasarela…
