La Alhambra - "The Red Fortress"
Grandeur of Al-Andalus
Pride of Moorish palaces
Built for the last Muslim Emirs
Where East meets West
Fusioning architecture of it's best
Courts, gardens, fountains and complexes
Geometrical patterns weaved into arabesques
La Alhambra integrates unique qualities
Skills of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian artist
Standing strong as time stood still
"The Red Fortress" of Sabikah Hill

This is a wonderful picture -- I love the reflection -- and a nice poem.
Oooo... Adore this kind of yards. I would have something like this in my home, too. But in this case it is or more little in confront of those you visited in other places... Maybe Spain has less place where to live and they built more little yards. :0))) We have Spanish buildings in Salerno, too but they are very little, without pools etc.
