So that's the mysterious project that bugged you so long? I am glad to
see it has turned out amazingly well. Congratulations! I am not going
to pick on lighting etc. because I realise this is a work in progress.

From what I know, the Spanish culture has many Arabic motives
interwoven. Is this the case with the Mezquita? I suggest you take a
look at www.islamicart.com when you have more time, just in case.
Also, are there any arabeskes on the floor/domes/columns? If so, I
suggest you check out Arabeske (www.wozzeck.net/arabeske/).

I am looking forward to seeing more of this. Just one more question --
<OT> how do you think Concierto de Aranjuez will sound if performed
there? </OT> <grin>
