Moorish Designs

Hello again, hope all is well with you and yours.

As a creative type, I love to observe different patterns - whether these are natural forms (think honeycomb or knots in wood), or man made.  The design and pattern I saw on the amazing buildings in Al Andalus recently totally bowled me over.  Lots of photos were taken.  Here are some of my favourites...
