......and in contrast to the ruins of the El Badi palace in Marrakech, there are some later additions, which are of more modern structure and used as administrative offices within the palace and the last photograph was taken through one of the arches you see here.

I dig the lighting on this piece sis!! I might've went with a total black backdrop as the one you selected kinda takes away from the drama, if that makes sense!?!?

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??

Now I see why the other shot was so cool if you shot through these arches. A beautiful post Patti. It looks like someone is being marched to a hearing with a waiting bench outside. Very good.

Very nice symetry in this fine composition. The light works perfectly to accent the nice clean lines. Tend to agree with Randy on the mat. This image should have no competing elements imo. Good work as always.

I'll have a big mac, fries....a chocolate shake.......oops.....not those kind of arches. LOL I don't eat there anyway.....no really.........did you know that if you put an order of their french fries in a paper bag and go back and look at it a month later......it will look the same......sumpin' wrong there. ROFL They had one online......and it didn't change. They had others too from restaurants and fast food places that got all moldy, black, and nasty looking........but not McDonalds theirs didn't change at all.........what the hell do they put in there ?? Scares me. LOL .....sorry.......got on a rant didn't I ?? :) Your arches are MUCH better Patti. Nicely done.

Don't know why, but I keep expecting to see a monk step out from behind one of the pillars. Excellent, artistic shot, Patti.

Surreal, supernatural soliloquy of supreme success. Searching and salivating, sideshows see simple, succinct sculptures of sediment and symmetry, serious, soft, striking symbiant simulacra, and sometimes, the seven sections of science, solitude, swordsmanship, sovereignty, severance, sensitivity, and seasonal sycles. Salud.
