Benvido a Santiago

back to the land of pilgrims

the Western facade of the Cathedral de Santiago de Compostela is easily the most photographed part of the cathedral. Part of me has always suspected that half of that notoriety is due to the handy square in front it (el Praza do Obradoiro) that allows photographers enough of a clear line of sight to get the whole thing in their viewfinder even if they use vintage cameras like I do...heh. Well, anyway, this cathedral is easily the cathedral that is most familiar to me so I enjoy taking photos of more random points of view. This one shows the Western facade's towers but from the cloisters.

Back of the cathedral.
This still ranks in my favorite photos even though it's been almost 6 years. Just something about my first roll of semi-expired b&w film, finding new shots to take in a very familiar place, and hanging out of a window of a medieval cathedral...
