In Teruel (a photo gallery)
We can hardly leave our three day stay in Teruel without a look at the city itself, but as usual we’re hard pressed for time. So think of this as one half of a show and tell. Show now, tell later.

Keith AdamsIt's not often that adjectives like "slender" or "sparing" come to mind when I see stone structures, but from this angle at least they seem appropriate here.

Scott AndersonTo Keith AdamsOh. Disappointing. I read this in the email stream and thought you were referring to me.

Keith AdamsHow on earth does anyone even think of decor such as that, let alone plan and execute it?

Scott AndersonTo Keith AdamsLikely just trial and error. This is probably the fourth or fifth redo.

Scott AndersonTo Suzanne GibsonIt is pretty amazing. It’s a small cloister but I had to take a photo of each one.

Keith AdamsWas this shot through a window or other vaguely reflective surface? There are some odd- and ever-so-slightly-jarring - lighting effects around the tower and the trees on the left. It could be digital noise or some quirk of how the camera recorded and compressed the image, I suppose.

Scott AndersonTo Keith AdamsYou’re right. I didn’t notice that myself, and can’t explain it other than by the low light situation. Shot from the middle of the street.

Scott AndersonTo Bruce LellmanIt is a great spot, and you’re right about the cathedral. The wooden ceiling is especially remarkable. I was lucky to be there when a tour guide was leading a group through and the ceiling was illuminated for them.

Bruce LellmanTo Scott AndersonOh, so lucky to have the lights turned on! It's just amazing. I love it so much. And the mausoleum isn't too shabby either! The couple holding hands is wonderful.
