Towers and Arches in Spain

04080033
Plaza de España in Seville. Wikipedia calls it the epitome of Moorish architecture in Spain. It was used in Lawrence of Arabia and digitally modified for Star Wars II. I'm not sure about the epitome. I would give that to the Alhambra. But that's another set of pictures.

Takin' a Break

I'm taking a week or two off from posting here at the pmPilgrim photoBlog. Nothing serious. I just need some time to reorganize and figure out what pictures to post next. Keep watching. I'll be back.
