Bronze people on the Camino

[KinkyOne]

I'm sure that regular forum readers will know where I got the idea for this thread title

First one is from Navarrete and the rest are from Burgos. Lovely companions...

Even more

That's awesome @falcon269 !
But I have to add a word of advice. You don't have to resize (downsize) photos so much. I usually put 1000 in first box (I use ACDSee) and find them resized enough for this forum. Would love to see some of yours in bigger size, because I can't remember them from my Camino

Regards!

Met this nice couple in Navarette also.

I think by the time I arrived they were a little bit weary of peregrinos !!!!!

Where were those two taken, Charles?
Thanks for posting. Here are four more from Villalcazar de Sirga, Carrion de los Condes, Sahagun and Alto San Roque:

I didn't keep the best records, but I think I can safely say that the peregrino with the suitcase was in Astorga, and the violin teacher and students was in Ponferrada.

Does anyone have a picture of the magnificent El Cid on his horse in Burgos? I can't believe I didn't get a picture of him.

I will be looking for these!

 

[basquelady]

Outside La Faba albergue, before O Cebreiro

 

[freescot]

I am amazed at how many of these there are. I saw this last week in Pontevedra

 

[Gailsie]

In Logrono, where I stayed in a hotel to dry out as I was soaked. That was before I purchased my Altus poncho.

Whoooow, @freescot, some good stuff you've been smokin' I guess, because those are real people!!! Wish I could've had some of that

Just kiddin'. As I understand you're on the road right now. God, how I envy you

Ultreia!



PS (And thanks for posting while on the Camino, what makes it even more special!!!)

Oh, Charleen, so sorry for rename you to Charles

Nice photos BTW!


PS (I only have photos of El Cid in the portice when entering the main plaza from the Espolon if you want it.)

Yes, please, by all means post your photos of El Cid. Thank you

 

[KinkyOne]

These attachments are OFF-TOPIC, but I don't think I should start whole new thread for El Cid. Or should I?
At request from @charlesx , (El Cid is in the upper row on the right side):

El Cid monument in Burgos

El Cid monument in BurgosView attachment 8374

Woo-hah, not really Charlton Heston (or El Cid himself for that matter) depicted here . The horse must have been at ladies hair dresser before "posing" I guess, which goes almost the same for El Cid, but I will have to find that statue next time while in Burgos. It looks very powerfull.

I agree. But I do like this monument; I find it superlatively magnificent. tallrobert, thank you for posting this picture.

And thank you also KinkyOne for your earlier photos of El Cid at the entrance to the plaza – one needs to keep these things in perspective.

Well, yes that was entirely my "perspective"
I believe that the author of the statue is Juan Cristóbal González (more: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Cristóbal_González)

Wish you (and all the rest) a very nice day!!!

Ultreia!

I have posted this in another thread, but I think it deserves to be in this one also:

"For me the most memorable was the monument/statue dedicated to emmigrants in Negreira (Camino Finisterre). Very simple, yet so touching to see how men's legs are rooted in Galician soil, how his son is grabbing him and pleading not to go while mother with younger child is in the house."

That, too, was one of my favorites!

Well, did they let you took some photos of them?

 

[KinkyOne]

Here's the last one I've met so far

Hope I'll meet some more on Via Augusta & Via de la Plata (via Sanabres) this summer.

Yes, they most certainly did let me take their photos, and when I work out how to attach pics here, I will post a couple. Smiles.
