Camino Photos to cheer someone up...

[hecate105]

I wanted to post a Camino photo which made me smile earlier today, but I can't work out how to post it! It won't cut n paste so I am at a loss.... Anybody tell me how - in luddite-speak...

and when I scrolled down to press 'post' behold I saw the button to upload a file - silly me!
Having an awful day with awkward relatives and my stepmum is having to have her elderly,but still beautiful, Saluki put to sleep. My glumness was somewhat relieved by looking at a couple of Camino photos - here!
Has anyone else got pics to cheer up the glums amongst us??

The view as I began walking from Granon about a month ago.



The end of my camino at Finisterre.

Now that's tough going, us walkers have it easy in comparison. Nice photos.

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

I think maybe you should have put a limit on the number of photos to include. So difficult to choose just a few, but here goes -

Early morning shadows


Lovely square in Santo Domingo


A cold and frosty morning leaving Castro jeriz


First glimpse of the ocean walking towards Muxia


Sunset at Finisterre


Atop the roof of the cathedral in Santiago - the highlight of my stay in the city

Thank you for the pictures - here are some of mine. Sunrise at Atapuerca, morning glories at Santa Catalina, house in O"Cebreiro, early morning just after Reboleira

As a gardener I'm a sucker for all the plant ones. Cherry, is your first one a maze or circles? I'm a little concerned about what Magwood was doing on the roof?! Were you dragged down kicking and screaming by Cathedral guards? or are tours of the roof given... I love Leaning Forward's rainbow - but am worried about the state of your feet - were you really wearing non-matching footwear...!? I am also aghast at the youthfulness of my faithful hound Oaky, he is SO grey now in comparison - we shall have to go a pilgrimage this year or he will have to be carried ALL the way!
These photos have done the job - I feel much better (and nothing to do with the Pusser's Rum....)

Not sure. I thought the one on top of the Atapuerca Sierra was of circles, but perhaps you could follow them into the center. I was in dire need of breakfast then (which I didn't get for another hour or two) or I might have checked it out. But that morning was spectacular. And tours of the roof are given - my step sister (from Knightsbridge, Devon), who met me in Santiago and did the Fisterre-Muxia bit with me got to do it after my train left. I was so jealous.

I'll have to remember that if we get there again - my husband would love to scamper about on the roof! He did a tour of Exeter Cathedral's roof which was extremely interesting - although a tad worrying about the amount of lean up there... I sat outside and waited to get waved at from on high - no head for heights at all!

Some more. One for the gardener! Also the beginning, cooling those feet, hanging out the washing, bed for the night, and someone's lost mascot found after leaving Samos , 'ration'. Tried to find his owner but he obviously walked faster than us.

Should read 'raton, that was his name for the rat

Hi Cherry,
Yes you perfectly correct............concentric circles. Superb photo.

Thank you - watching the sun rise as I walked up there, imagining being there 900,000 years ago, and the crisp clearness of the morning - all well worth the early start.

Thanks for lifting my spirits with your contributions - all very beautiful. We had a huge snowstom on Wednesday and 15 more cm predicted for tomorrow. When will I ever get out to walk???

I've been getting on the cross trainer while watching the YouTube videos of baby Indigo and his family walking the Camino. The combination of exercise and watching lovely Camino footage, including a cute baby, is a sure cheer up.
