The impossible shot

The palau is located on an incredibly narrow street, making it pretty impossible to get any kind of a decent shot of the front of it. This was the best I could do, but perhaps the image will give an idea of the elaborate facade and domes. The brick building to the left is a modern extension.

That's a great capture, Helen - despite the narrow street. One can only imagine the grandeur of the details and those splendid colors of the building. Well done! *V*
