Terraced Hill

No. 19 of 20 · free · 300 dpi

What you seeA garden hillside seen from a tiled parapet: terraces stepping down towards you, each with its sand retaining wall, clipped myrtle edge and a row of orange trees, cypresses or roses, a white arcaded pavilion on the upper terrace and a red fort with towers on the wooded hill behind, under snow-capped mountains.

What it meansThe palace gardens of Granada were built up the hillside in terraces, each level watered from the one above, with the red walls of the fortress on the next hill and the snow of the Sierra Nevada feeding the channels.

Where it worksA wide view with a lot to find in it. For a living room, a dining room or the wall facing a window.
