World map by franbalsera

World map

This map was the largest and most detailed medieval map of the world. It was drawn onto thirty sheets of parchment (animal skin) fastened together. The world appears as a circle, with the head of Christ at the top and his hands and feet at the bottom. It forms the body of Christ, and the city of Jerusalem his heart..

Hi Fran. Looking forward to the fruits of our Get Pushed partnership. Why don't you pop down to the Caixa Forum for an architectural abstract. External or internal, but no sky and no ground. Imagine the 3D building is a flat panel. A long lens would help to isolate your selection, avoiding distractions, and later you may want to see what cropping and rotating your image would do to the balance. Have fun!
