deborah,
some browsers can scale images to fit the size of your web browser window. however, they will only do this when you are looking at a standalone picture. the photo above is embedded within this web page, so you will need to isolate it to find out if your browser supports automatic scaling-to-fit. right-click on the image (on a one-button mac, hold the control key and click) and select the "load this image" or "view this image" option from the menu that will appear. this allows you to view the image alone. some browsers will scale the image at this point so you can see the thing from top to bottom inside the browser window. for example, firefox 2 running in windows xp will do this. and in firefox, you can toggle the scaling on or off by clicking on the image, so you can also see it at full-size. other browsers might not have this feature.
you could also try increasing your monitor's resolution, which would allow you to squeeze more "real estate" out of your monitor by making everything smaller, thus allowing you to fit more of everything onto your screen.
hope that helps.

Lovely picture.
It brings up a question which you may answer at your leisure. Why do some pix fit the page and others don't? This one I could see (and appreciate) the whole picture at once. Other I get frustrated that I have to scroll up and down to see the whole. Is there a way to fix this at home? Thanks.
