Pilgrims' Progress
[April 9, Santiago de Compostela]
This is not the symbol of Big Oil, but of Big Religion. The scallop is the symbol of Santiago de Compostela, Christendom's 3rd major pilgrimage site (after Jerusalem and Rome). On this scallop impression, in the center of Praza do Obradoiro, pilgrims gather to celebrate the end of their 500 mile walk to Santiago.
