Snapshots of the Alhambra

You stand at the edge

And wonder where to start.

Each space is perfectly proportioned,

Every surface embellished

With intricate carvings

And tilework of vibrant colour.

You remind yourself that there is no need
To record everything,

That you are trying to capture images
That will remind you of the joy

Of a cool, blue-bright January day
In the Alhambra

And then you begin.
