PhoneHomeAntenna*

Granada, Spain

Yes, Cat and Pops, this *is*
a «roof top» with «ceramic roof tiles»,
and the «PhoneHomeAntenna» is but a lightning-conductor.

What you see here is the cupola on top of a hotel
built about a century ago in a way to mimic to some extent
the style of the nearby medieval Moorish «Alhambra» palace
(listed by the Unesco as part of our World Heritage).

Looks like ceramic roof tiles. Great capture.

Wow! DB! What a structure! I have no clue as to what I am looking at, except its very interesting! The scaley textures and the repeated color patterns makes it eye catching indeed! I am guessing its a roof top of some kind. Very unique! Abstract and revealing at the same time. -Cat
