Ancient and New

Channel of Water

Water.Segovia
When the Moors, a desert people, came to Spain they were entranced by the possibility of water being abundant. Here in Segovia one can see some of the ways that water can be channeled in that Moorish tradition. More pictures of this will be seen when I post some from the Alhambra.
