Great picture
Fear and loathing in Ages...not Vegas.
Another private garden (this shot shows only half of it) taken care of entirely by the woman you see. Her disabled husband sits on the sidelines and gives encouragement. She feeds many with the fruits of her labor.
Laurie, I love a little story when shared with the pictures...it sometimes gives us the full "picture".
It's a civil war memorial, built in 2017. Each stone commemorates people in villages nearby who were killed in these mountains:
I was wondering how I missed this, now I know...it wasn't there. I walked the Frances in 2015 and again in early April 2017.It's a civil war memorial, built in 2017. Each stone commemorates people in villages nearby who were killed in these mountains:

Oh, crikey. My description is now quite inappropriate.It's a civil war memorial, built in 2017. Each stone commemorates people in villages nearby who were killed in these mountains:

Almost exactly the same timing here.
Henges were often graves, yes?
I spent an hour or so up there, enjoying the outdoor church service and a couple of bananas, but I didn’t spot the plaque.
Brrr!
Also wondered how we had missed this but now realise it wasn't there in 2014! Would have seen it this year!!It's a civil war memorial, built in 2017. Each stone commemorates people in villages nearby who were killed in these mountains:

Again, hopefully, next year!!
The site is still controversial/sensitive for some people. My attempts to add a simple review of the site to Google Maps have been blocked by someone objecting.
Hmmm, something has changed it is now easily findable on Google Maps, see: https://goo.gl/maps/61LXzXrauphQSCD6A
It's great to have these layers of understanding added to the sights we have seen.
Such a wonderful part of the day - end of a day's walking, sitting at a table under a shaded arcade watching and listening to the sounds of life in a town. @sabine your photo makes me feel that moment!
Please repost this in the thread Sounds of the Camino.
Done! I didn't know about the Sounds of the Camino thread. Thank you!
What was this?
We saw some fun in Burgos too.
Another word: Beer and bier are homophones.
Amazing photo @VNwalking ! The variation in colour. The shadows of the signs. The multiple lined vanishing point. The longer you look at it, the more you see. Beautiful.
Yes! That was some climb! It was a very hot day too.
I did not dare look back!
I always wondered what it was like to be living in this idyllic place without that huge viaduct. Quite the transition, then versus now, with it hanging over their heads all the time.
A surprising choice of main subject. I'm curious; from the same place and time did you take other photos focusing on the label and another on the cross? If so, why did you submit this one? Was the stone the one you brought?
Interesting observation, Rick. This image was the only one I kept that day (edit: at Cruz de Ferro). The stone I brought was the pink one and on that day I was so occupied with my thoughts and prayers for the person that stone was placed there for, I actually didn’t notice the label until you mentioned it.
Jozero, this is a beautiful image and especially with your explanation, it is very powerful and makes complete sense.
