The Real Alcázar de Sevilla is a historic royal palace. 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. Seville, Spain
Notable architectural features include the conspicuous columns, the horseshoe-shaped arches, and the innumerable murqarnas embellishing the ceilings. The dome, arches and walls give a grand ambiance to the mosque. The first-class sound system is discreetly hidden. The ablution room and a vast public hammam are in the basement, with its own entrance. Tadelakt, a plastering technique which adds egg yolks and black soap into mixed plaster, was used in the hammam baths

Shot this hiking through Macleay Park in Portland up to the Pittock Mansion. It was mostly foggy on the hike but every once in a while the sun sould break through the clouds and light up the forest ceiling.

Mirrored ceiling in the Mirror Palace of Amber Fort. Mirror Palace which is exquisitely embellished with glass inlaid panels and multi-mirrored ceilings. The mirrors are of convex shape and designed with colored foil and paint which would glitter bright under candlelight at the time it was in use. Also known as Sheesh Mahal (mirror palace), the mirror mosaics and colored glasses were a glittering jewel box in flickering candle light.
