" And it echoes when I breathe
Until all you see is my ghost
Empty vessel, crooked teeth
Wish you could see
And they call me under
And I'm shaking like a leaf
And they call me under
And I wither underneath
In this storm
I am a stranger
I am an alien
Inside a structure
Are you really gonna love me when I'm gone?
With all my thoughts
And all my
Faults
I feel it biting
I feel it break my skin
So uninviting
Are you really gonna need me when I'm gone?"

The lowly dandelion weed makes an interesting subject under the macro lens. In the space of a several days it changes its appearance dramatically, from a very colourful yellow flower to an intricate seeding structure. This weeks images will focus on this interesting plant. This is #3 in the series of images. View On Black
The first 13 images in this set show macro images of the dandelion at various stages in its reproductive cycle. The subsequent 12 images in this set of 25 focus on the microscopic structure of this fascinating "weed".
Of all Spain's tens of thousands of historical monuments, the Alhambra stands supreme. The final manifestation of the doomed Moorish civilization in the peninsula, its history also mirrors that the of Spain in the succeeding six centuries. Taken by Fernando and Isabel in a surge that culminated in Catholic Spain ruling vast tracts of Europe and New World, it, like the country, eventually fell into dereliction and then use as a barracks in the war-torn 19th century.
Rediscovered by Romantic travelers, it is now one of Europe's most-visited destinations!
The defensible hills were the principal reason why the Zirid rulers moved their town from nearby Elvira to Granada in the early 11th century. A natural fortress, the Sabika hill on which the Alhambra stands had previously been used by the Romans and Visigoths, but only a few remnants have been found from those eras. The Zirids fortified the hill, although their main palace was on the facing Albayzín. The Alhambra as we see it today was principally a construction of the later Nasrid dynasty, who rose to power in the 1230s and established the hill as their seat of power. The Nasrids ruled Granada until 1492 and are responsible for the most of the many buildings that form the Alhambra complex. Of these, their royal palace complex is what inspires visitors with the most awe. After Boabdil surrendered the city and fortress to the Catholic Monarchs, many modifications were made to the existing structures, and several new edifices were thrown up, not least of which is the bulky Renaissance Palacio de Carlos V. The name Alhambra is from Arabic al-qalat al-hambra, meaning the red fort, perhaps from the colour of the sandstone, especially in the setting sun.

This large museum of natural history combines three museums into one, including a four-story taxonomy wing, a building of skeletons and fossils and a separate structure devoted entirely to geology.
Clevedon Pier, last of the summer weather. If you look really close mid centre at the bottom of the scene there is a gentleman who obviously loves the sun. My opinion only, just a little too much sun can be dangerous!!!
Cameron Offices, Belconnen, Canberra, ACT. The architect was John Andrews, who also designed Callum Offices in Woden and student accommodation at two Canberra Universities including "Toad Hall" at the ANU.
The Cathedral is a striking white-painted monumental church with a single high belltower offset to the right of the main entrance. Built on a plan comprising three longitudinal naves surmounted by semi-ogival arches on square pillars, the basic spatial structure of the Cathedral is typical of the 16th century. Based upon interior features — especially the details of the pillars, arches, and the carved and coffered ceiling — some experts assert that the Cathedral should be characterized as Gothic-Mudéjar in style. It certainly has Gothic features in the pointed arches of its naves, as well as in the ambulatory that surrounds the presbytery.

Inside, the three naves are supported by pointed arches, which in turn are supported by pillars with square bases. The central nave has cedar panelling betraying Moorish influences. An extraordinary wooden coffered ceiling is supported by a golden frieze and beautiful paintings hang among the arches.
One last look at this mystery before moving on to other content. I like this perspective as it shows the building with the vast open fields surrounding it. The branches from the tree also add an interesting touch!
The debate of whether this was a school or a house seems to be 50/50 based on your comments. I'd like to think that potentially it was both. I'll continue to try and find an answer but my research has yielded few results.
Let me know which angle is your favorite!
