“The Courtyards of Cordoba, Spain” is offered here from stock as a simple but lovely 12x18” dry-mounted paper print. Every May, the Andalusian town of Córdoba (Spain) holds a competition for the prettiest patio or courtyard in the city, with the winner announced at the end of the month. The Feria de los Patios, as it is known, is now almost a hundred years old and is one of southern Spain’s most captivating events.

The patios are, quite simply, works of art. Designed, arranged and grown throughout the year, they are achingly romantic oases of cool and colour, where the placement of every bright-red pot of geraniums has been carefully thought out. Owners are often on hand and delighted to talk to you about the species of flowers and plants adorning the courtyards’ walls, and in some of the larger spaces live flamenco guitar is performed as you wander. How lucky these understandably proud hosts are to live in such places, you think: it would surely require quite an effort to have a bad day or suffer from the blues when your front garden is a UNESCO-protected paradise.

All prints are available in ready-to-hang, gallery-wrapped CANVAS or METAL (aluminum).

Except for the PANORAMIC (long & narrow) images, most all other prints are in a standard 2:3 aspect ratio (same as out-of-the-camera, uncropped), vertical or horizontal orientation, like 16 x 24”. In this size, prices for a gallery-wrapped CANVAS print is $175, and a print on METAL is $250, both including standard shipping.

The largest print size currently available is 40 x 60” in CANVAS or METAL.
