I took this photo ten years ago in the Alhambra in Granada.
What caught my eye was the shape of the light on the walls of this little building.
Normally, we notice the shapes of shadows, but in this room it was the shape of light.
When I looked up to the ceiling I saw this.
The whole roof was studded with these holes…I was going to say windows but they aren’t windows are they? All the holes were the shape of eight pointed stars, a shape which is repeated throughout the Alhambra.
Clearly the eight pointed star shape was sculpting the beams of light as they shone through into the chamber.
You can see that quite clearly from the first photo.
So here’s my question for you…have you ever noticed the shape of the light?
