I love photographing doors, doorways, and portals of all kinds, but when the view beyond is as beautiful as this one at Granada's Alhambra, I am truly in heaven.
As we prepare for another big snowstorm, I had to smile at the memory of all these people (look closely) sunbathing on the teeny tiny beach in front of the Peter and Paul Fortress in St. Petersburg (Leningrad when I took the photo). Not that it was snowing, but it certainly wasn't what anyone in our group would have considered sunbathing weather.
