Las avenidas de Andalusia

At the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula the inhabitants of Andalusia have cultivated a rich cultural identity. As a historic gateway between Europe and Africa there are so many unique details and stunning architecture. It was difficult to wander the streets of Andalusia and not shoot everything, but here are a few shots that remind me of the hot summer afternoons in Espana.



Hammam Arabic baths throughout Andalusia fill underground cisterns with cool water, beneath the sizzling summer heat, and reflect the remaining Moorish influence in Southern Spain.


Peeking in past the hot stone walls of the street revealed cool lush patios.
The walled courtyards of Granada are beautiful carmens, gardens with shadowed trellises and ponds.




















Late afternoon sun illuminates boys skateboarding on the outskirts of Granada.

As always, I couldn't resist a self portrait, this time in a door handle.
