Segovia, Spain. October, 2009


The stark vistas from the hilltop fortress of Segovia made it clear why Ferdinand and Isabella had chosen this spot for their castle. You could see for miles in every direction. And so could their lookout guards way back when. Fortunately they let Columbus approach, as this is the place where he sought their backing to sail to the New World.
