hafiz & the alhambra

May 4, 2012

“And the sun and the moon sometimes argue over who will tuck me in at night. If you think I am having more fun than anyone on this planet, you are absolutely correct.”

– Hafiz

this photo was taken in the alhambra. i saw a ray of evening light in the palaces and wanted to capture it as it streamed through the window and then through a doorway. it conveys how i feel about the alhambra and the moorish style of architecture and design better than words ever could. come to think of it, so does the quote.

(a million thanks to gillian for putting this quote on her facebook page. it is my new favorite.)

  1. Dear Hafiz…*sigh*… I must add this one to my journal–I love it! I just love this bit, which I can so relate to: “If you think I am having more fun than anyone on this planet, you are absolutely correct.” YES! LOVE, love, love this light today, Elizabeth… The ALIVE-ness in it is palpable…Happy Weekend ((HUGS))
