Sunlight and Shadow, Palace of the Duke of Medina

The Palace of the Duke of Medina Sidonia

is found in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Andalucía, Spain.

Now a hotel, the gardens in the courtyard

are an oasis of peace and cool.

Late afternoon sun casts patches of dappled light

through the luxuriant vegetation,

highlights of colour in the shade.

Low sun, long shadows

I love the way the low sun

sends shadows racing across the grass.

Winter mists define the light.
