Granada by night

My attempt

With some help
Last Wednesday it was Colombus day in Spain. This means they celebrate some Columbus-related occasions and everyone gets the day off. Nationalists use the day as an excuse for military parades and feelings of great patriotism while the other part of the country looks at it all with suspicion because it vaguely reminds one of the days of fascism. Because everyone gets the day off this means everyone goes out the night before. People go out every day anyway but this Tuesday it was nuts. I happened to have my camera with me that night so I managed to take some "pictures" and destroy my camera in the process. Thats why you don't take your camera when you go out. Luckily I probably still have a warranty so I'll see if I can get it fixed and if not, it's not a very big deal. The pictures above were taken during the first part of the night, we went into the old muslim neighbourhood of "Albaycin" with a group of people, high up on the hill it sits on and had a good time hanging out and drinking on a square there. Close to there is the famous viewpoint from which you have a magnificent view of the alhambra. I tried taking pictures but due to a Y-chromosome I happen to possess I did not bother to read the manual of my camera and therefore did not know how to take night pictures. After a couple of weird paranormal looking pictures from my side a girl took over and make a sort of decent one. The alhambra is still sort of shiny but at leat it does not look like a Tesla experiment gone wrong.
