    St Jean to Santiago seen by an atheist

    Ooh, that should result in lots of interesting imagery. Be sure to share the results with us here! Starting in October, you may get to see a bit more wetness than I did, but that should just add in more interesting skies in your photos, so count it as a blessing. :) Buen camino, Bjørn

    St Jean to Santiago seen by an atheist

    Thank you, Nicol. DO bring your camera, and be sure to show us what you saw along your way. I found September/October to be a perfect time to walk. Hopefully you will have as little rain as I did. Buen camino! Bjørn

    St Jean to Santiago seen by an atheist

    Thank you, Annie. Good luck with your walk, that leg is one full of trail leading straight into the horizon... Make sure to bring some deep thoughts to ponder upon, and remember to pay the full metal pilgrim in Burgos a visit before you leave! (http://bjornfree.com/camino/imagepages/image45.htm)...

    Last 600 kilometres of Via Francigena - Photo journal

    Thank you, sillydoll. Your compliments are great, what computer keyboard do you use? :) I don't think what camera I used matters much. They could be taken with pretty much any fairly modern pocket camera. The "secret" behind them is mainly that I spend some time working on the photos digitally...

    St Jean to Santiago seen by an atheist

    Hi Panda, I'm afraid I haven't had the opportunity to do the walk to Nidaros just yet, but I'm definitely looking into doing it some day. In the meantime, however, I can offer you a glimpse into the Via Francigena. I walked the section from Fidenza and Rome this summer (about 600...

    Last 600 kilometres of Via Francigena - Photo journal

    Having previously walked the Camino de Santiago and absolutely loved it, I was curious to see how the Via Francigena compares to it. So in June this year I started walking in Fidenza, nearly as far away from Rome as Roncesvalles is from Santiago. This is what it looked like to me...

    St Jean to Santiago seen by an atheist

    Again; thank you, and you're welcome. Robertt: Although new cameras don't come with a guarantee that they'll improve your photography, it's worth a shot. #8D) I've recently replaced the camera I used on the Camino with a new one from the same series, a Sony DSC-HX100V. It's very much like the...

    St Jean to Santiago seen by an atheist

    Thank YOU, all, for your nice comments. I'm thrilled that so many true pilgrims appear to find some enjoyment in viewing these photos. If any of you would like a copy of any of these photos in better quality/higher resolution, just notify me, and I'll provide it. I've left the captions...

    St Jean to Santiago seen by an atheist

    Thank you! Please note that you don't have to order my book at all. It can be downloaded and read from my Web site for free using pretty much any kind of PC, Mac, Kindle, iPad or whatever. Writing and photography is not my job, just something I do for the love of travel. You're welcome to take...

    St Jean to Santiago seen by an atheist

    Thank you. I certainly understand what you mean. During the last days, from Sarria and in, I found myself often somewhat frustrated by the "population density" on the trail. However, up until O Cebreiro I often felt like I was just about the only one person on the trail, and I enjoyed meeting...

    St Jean to Santiago seen by an atheist

    Thank you. I don't think there's necessarily any difference, and I hope that my photo journal doesn't send the message that I was mainly bored when walking the Way. I can see how some of my comments may be read that way, but I really, really see the beauty in empty fields asleep and preparing...

    St Jean to Santiago seen by an atheist

    Thank you! I don't even know if there is a difference, but if there is one, I hope it does not diminish anyone's appreciation of the beautiful sights a walk in natural surroundings can offer! (I did not intend to put too much emphasis on my fundamental beliefs regarding life. I think I just...

    St Jean to Santiago seen by an atheist

    I walked the Camino Frances just a week or so after deciding to do so. This site and the forums helped me prepare for it well in a short time, so here's my thank you note for that, in the shape of a link to my photo journal from the walk: http://www.pvv.org/~bct/camino/ I walked it in just...
