A new photo-video from Camino de Levante

[bjorgts]

Here comes another (the next) photo-video from our Camino de Levante; mainly between Toledo and Avila (number 4). We stopped in Arevalo. On this part of Camino Levante, the landscape is very different from the landscape in La Mancha.
We will continue from Arevalo this April!
For more photo-videos, see my channel:

Thanks for this @bjorgts !
Due to circumstances I couldn't walk Toledo-Avila stretch and it's really nice to see what's really on my still-to-do list.

But as a professional (Film and TV director) I have a suggestion about the titles/notes in your video clip. We westerners are reading from upper left to bottom right and this spot is the last and most annoying to check for our brain when it comes to videos or photos. Because of hundreds of years of teaching "us" this, our brain thinks something like upper left is positive and bottom right is negative. So if you really want to emphasize what we are looking at with the titles then place them at least in bottom left corner if not in the upper left. Much more friendly for our perception.

But I enjoyed it nevertheless

Thank you for this advice!
I put the text bottom right, because I have thought that it is the photo which is most important. But I can understand your argument. Bottom left is a good alterantive. Thank you! Any other advices?

True! The photo is the most important and that's exactly why reading something bottom right drives our attention/eyes from it. If it's placed on the left side sometimes we even don't move/scan with our eyes because we see it as part of the whole picture. The reason for that is in the habit of reading left to right.

Another reason is that we notice bottom right text with delay (watching from left to right) and we get the information where the photo was taken at the end of the photo and our brain sometimes (depends on how "experienced" is the one that watches) end the process of understanding the text in the beginning of next photo. In Camino terms that's something like painting the arrow after the turn/crossroads just to confirm something and not before to show you the way.

No other advices. You do it just well. I always enjoy the photos, music and easy pace of your videos

Thank you! I started making such videos one and a half year ago, and I like it very much.
