[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
The Giralda is the bell tower of the Cathedral of Seville in Seville, Spain, one of the largest churches in the world and an outstanding example of the Gothic and Baroque architectural styles. The tower is a former Almohad minaret which, when built, was the tallest tower in the world at 97.5 m (320 ft) in height. It was one of the most important symbols in the medieval city.

The tower, an ancient minaret from the Almohad mosque of Seville, is constructed in several distinct parts from different cultures. The Islamic body is the oldest part. It was built in 1184 under the orders of the Caliph Abu Yusuf Ya'qub al-Mansur by the architect Ahmad ibn Baso[1] and finished by Abu-l-Laith As-Siqilli in 1198[2]. Several old buildings, including Roman stones from the ruined city of Italica, were reused to provide construction materials. The Giralda has no stairs; instead, 34 ramps are used to ascend the tower. The ramps were sufficiently wide for the muezzin to ride a horse to the top of the tower to recite the Adhan, call to prayer.

Elias que foto mas bonita. Me gusta tu punto de vista para captar la luna y el minaret. Me gusta que hayas usado dos colores para darle mas realce nocturno a la foto. Ademas los detalles de la arquitectura se ven bien. Me impresiona mucho como en Espana se ven bastantes ejemplos de arquitectura arabe que se mezcla muy bien con la cultura cristiana espanola. Bonita foto amigo!...Como te encuentras? Trabajando o estudiando?

Hola Elias,

I have been recently in Sevilla.

Hola Elías.
Bonita fotografía de la Giralde de Sevilla, uno de los monumentos más fotografiados de España. El contrapicado que has realizado refuerza mucho la composición, pues con su altura no es un edificio fácil de fotografiar. Hace un par de días he visto una noticia en televisión: La Giralda, va a dejar de ser el edificio más alto de Sevilla muy pronto, pues cierto banco va a construir un edificio que será más de cien metros más alto que la Giralda. Esta noticia no ha sentado muy bien a la gente de Sevilla. Buen trabajo amigo. Un saludo.
Angel.
