A new toy

I have often heard the expression that men are just boys with newer bigger and more expensive toys. I guess that is true in my case. I just got a new scanner that will allow me to take my old slides from my previous trips to Europe and digitize them for computer viewing. I will also be able to burn them onto a CD and use them in my classroom. You would not believe how difficult it is to find a slide projector! In fact digital projectors cost less than slide projectors ever did cost! You can get a digital projector for about 150 USD and slid projectors of a good quality always started at about 250+ USD!

SO........ To share some of the slides I have converted. These pictures are from the Vatican Museum. The angles are an old fresco from a church that was destroyed. They saved the fragments that you see. Some seem distorted, but you must remember that they are on a curved surface, as they were on the inside of a dome. They are among my favorite frescos I have ever seen!
