More churches?
I know what you're thinking, that he's over there in Spain, and that's all he does is spend his time in Churches. Well, trust me there are plenty of parts of video footage you don't get to see. : ) So here we are in Segovia, and this church is one of my favorites. It's from the 13-14th century with some REALLY well preserved frescoes. Things to look out for (and as I commented on in the video), bright vivid colors (for the 14th century, 1300s), 2 dimensional drawings, and 3) so much of the painting (frescoes) destroyed. This is because in the Middle Ages when the plague was going around, they thought it was hiding out in the walls, so they gouged lots of parts of the wall out. IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!! More Segovia stuff coming later. This is just one of my favorites.
