Cathedral

We are just coming back from a nice trip to the south of Spain, visiting the spectacular city of Granada and spent some enjoying and wonderful days with friends in Alpujarras at the foot of Sierra Nevada. 

Granada is a very inspirational city in many domains. Just visiting the Alhambra overlooking the city and its Morish roots is already worth the trip. But there are many other places in the city which are worth to explore, like the cathedral. The design of the cathedral started quite early giving the cathedral Gothic roots. By the time when the cathedral was built and finished, Spanish Renaissance design was replacing Gothic design in Spanish architecture. Whilst you are visiting the cathedral, you will still see the Gothic roots, however the details in the facade and the inner design of the cathedral tells you that this is a masterpiece of Spanish renaissance architecture. 

I was traveling just with my Leica and used for most of the images a wide angle lens (Tri-Elmar 16-18-21). So far I did not use the Tri-Elmar very often, not really using why. On one hand I was not very pleased with the speed (f4.0) and on the other hand, my impression was that a Leica M is not particularly a camera for ultra wide angle photography. As I am considering to sell it off in order to fund a Summilux 75 or Noctilux, I wanted to give it a last chance. With most of the images I am quite pleased, however I am still considering to let it go and replace it probably with a faster ultra wide angle lens.
