i dove southern spain

so it is one day back from madrid, merida and andalusia. lots of pigeons to document, especially their love of the islamic architecture. But we shall start in madrid's plaza meyor. kind of a standard photo but it is reminiscent of the pigeon gangs of placa catalunya in barcelona.

next we discover that the floral decoration of islamic architecture makes pigeons feel right at home.

now onto the surreal nature of the great mosque of cordoba. this masterpiece housed a slew of doves, almost a divine intervention in the court of oranges.

and to leave with... pigeons chilling on a renaissance building with the hulk of a cathedral in granada in the background
