I took some vitamins and pills with me. I only walked for a week though.
I brought a multivitamin, because I know I don't eat well enough to get it all through the food, I also brought probiotics which I always take when I travel. I also took pills with turmeric, as that's a natural...
Many more gorgeous photos! My favourite was XIMG_5661.jpg - the early morning street view. It's a lovely shot.
It looks like it was worth the cold, rain and fog. =)

I walked Pamplona to Logroño in September last year and brought a DSLR with me. A Nikon D90 with the 18-105mm kit lens, to be exact. And I was very glad I took it with me as I got some great shots with it. But, I also didn't carry all my gear on my back, I sent some ahead. Otherwise I'm not sure...
Thank you all for your wonderful comments.
My family started to wonder if I'd been completely alone when they saw the photos. But, like you, I prefer to keep people out of the photos. =)
Hilda
Thank you, Lillian.
I took a point and shoot on my first camino-attempt and I was quite disappointed with the results when I got back home. So, this time I opted to have my luggage transported from place to place and only carry a daypack. So, the weight didn't bother me.
I actually had the...
Thank you so much Laurie. I was fortunate to have good weather for the duration of my walk.
About the sky; I took a picture last year at home (in Sweden) that I think comes pretty close to the colour of the sky in Spain. A very intense and gorgeous blue.
I'll let you be the judge if you...
I love your photos! They're stunning. The lighting is really good.
The ones from St Jean Pied de Port to Roncesvalles are my favourites. And I also really like the one with the tractor in the field.
I was about to ask what camera you used, but when I scrolled all the way down among the photos...
Hi,
I noticed I've forgotten to add my album of Camino photos in this forum. I'm currently uploading some more photos to it.
These were taken late-September to October 2010 when I went on my mini-Camino. I started in Pamplona and ended the walk in Logroño.
Here's the link to the album on...
Re: A few photos between Roncesvalles and Astorga
Lots of gorgeous photos! I agree with a previous poster, the light was very good in your pictures.

I'm also a person who wants to be in control all the time, and it's very difficult to let go of that control. I certainly didn't manage when I was doing the camino, but I tried, and I think that's important. My fear didn't really go away at any time during my camino, but it did become more...
Hi all,
Since I've now walked at least a portion of the Camino Frances, I felt I could add my photo here. I took this outside of Puente la Reina, after the first steep climb of the day.
I actually took it just to make sure I didn't look like I was about to faint or die, both of which I felt...
Thank you Kim.
I had many moments, particularly the first few days when I though "screw this, I'm going home!" But, my mum helped convince me it'd probably be pretty bad for my self-esteem if I gave up again. So, I stayed. And I'm glad I did, because I had some good times, and lots of good...
stpatricksbhoy and Valerie, thank you. =)
Valerie, I have no plans of leaving the forum. Maybe, instead of a camino, I'll plan a photo-journey along the camino next time. I think that's more my kind of journey.
Hilda
Carole, Karin and Suzie, thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoy them. (Just posted a few more...).
I still have 1200 photos - that's after throwing out about 600. Have to toss out another 300-400 or so. Since I take so many, I try to get rid of at least half. =)
Karin, thanks for the link to...
Thank you Margaret. I am actually in the process of uploading more as we speak (or type).
True. I don't actually have to do the Camino right now. I have years to do it, if I decide I want to.
Hilda
Well, I'm back home. =) And I'm very happy about that. This post is going to be a little random...
The second half of the trip wasn't at all as bad as the first. I accepted the situation for what it was and pushed through. And I made it. But, I also made the trip easier on myself. I took the...
Thank you all for your sweet replies. Today I am in Los Arcos and am going to Viana tomorrow. I am feeling better and calmer now, but still homesick.
Have just had dinner; good salmon with the ever-present chips, and some melon for desert. Am now going to look over the photos I've taken today...
