43. zooming and Santiago de Compostela

I right clicked and copied the pic from the thread into PhotoShop elements. Then cropped to get just the section where the lettering is. Then resized the image to make it bigger.

It probably would have been easier just to right click, then save the pic to a file and look at it in Windows Explorer (NOT Internet Explorer) and zoom in, but I did it the hard way.


I started my college career in 1966 as a Spanish major, after four years of HS Spanish in which we got a LOT of cultural background. So I had a smattering of the history. Then shortly after my return from six weeks in southern Spain in 1969, I discovered James Michener's "Iberia," which devotes a lengthy section to Santiago de Compostela. I've worn out three paperback copies of Iberia, still have a fourth on hand in fairly decent condition, refer to it frequently. It was easier to reach than "Art & Architecture of Medieval France."

And yes, I do have a lot of . . . . diverse items in my library!
