Bali – Let The Ceremony Begin

We watched all the preparation as the Balinese people, all dressed in their finery, brought the food, offerings and ornaments. They began to drape the statues, put up streamers and arrange everything. It was all hustle and bustle but they were very friendly and welcoming, shy and demur.

Granada – The Mind-blowing Alhambra!

One of the wonders of the world. Simply stunning. The decoration, artwork and beauty of this Moorish palace. Incredible.

Cordoba – The Mesquita Mosque – Moorish design. Photos

I do love Muslim architecture and design. The Moorish mosque in Cordoba is ver beautiful.

The history is immense too. When Isabella kicked the Muslims out they built a cathedral in the middle of it! So weird.

The stupidity of religion, conflict and division; the beauty of design, decoration and art.

What a strange world we live in.

Vietnam – Hue More photos from around the Royal Palace

A lot of the palace was in severe disrepair and was being renovated for us tourists. Incredible to see though. Some of the detail was exquisite.
