 The one thing that caught my eye when I went to the MET, was the big Christmas tree. The tree was adorned with cherubs and about some fifty angels suspended in the tree.  At the base of the tree, the scenery of the Neapolitan Christmas crib is being represented by the different figures. There are three different elements that are being presented at the base: the Nativity with the adoring shepherds and their flocks, the processions of the three Magi who dressed retinue echoes the merchants and travelers one may have encountered in bustling Naples at the time of the crèche's creation and, most distinctive, colorful peasants and townspeople engaged in their quotidian tasks. The theatrical scene is enhanced by a charming assortment of animals such as sheep, goats, horses, a camel, and an elephant. In the background, several pieces serve as the dramatic setting for the Nativity, including the ruins of a Roman temple, several quaint houses, and a typical Italian fountain with a lion's-mask waterspout.

PGN or better known as Portable Network Graphics, was originally created as a replacem...

Difference between 300ppi and 72ppi

Image
   When you need to print a picture, you need a 300ppi resolution in order for it to have a high resolution and for it to look professional. When you are inserting a picture in a webpage, you need a 72ppi resolution so it doesn't look too bright. For example, when printing out the two pictures, the one with 300ppi resolution was a good picture because since it had a high resolution, you were able to see the picture clearly as if it was a regular picture and not something that was printed. Compared to the 72ppi resolution, which was too dim and you weren't able to distinguish things very clearly.
