In 2017 between Espinal and Zabaldiki we walked along a section of the Camino where the path falls away steeply to the right. Ahead we heard a woman crying out for help. We ran to see what was going on an found the woman about 15ft down the side of the mountain with her crashed bike laying on top of her.
She spoke no English, but with our rudimentary Spanish I was able to understand her husband was ahead and unaware that she'd been in an accident. I ran ahead to find try and find him and my wife, sister and brother in law helped the woman. In the end everyone was ok and the couple was reunited.
I want to tell this story as part of our Camino experience, but clearly we didn't stop to take pictures.
I'm looking for recommendations for images.
I could use general pictures of steep embankments, or bicycles, but was wondering if some creative mind out there had a better suggestion.

This might also work if Google's StreetView cameras visited the spot where the accident happened. Go to https://mappingsupport.com/p/gmap4.php and go to Menu and select Search. Enter a location near the accident (say Espinal, Spain.) Drag the stickman at the upper left onto the map over the spot you are interested in without letting go. The routes that Google has pictures for are highlighted. With luck the Camino might be highlighted and if so then release the mouse button. Now you are at StreetView and you can use its navigational widgets and mouse drags with the button down to travel the camino or do a 360 degree look around. Use a screen capture to grab a picture. Good luck; I didn't see much of the camino captured by Google.

Thanks....I think I've narrowed it to just before Irotz. But the question remains...what to do about images to illustrate the story? It's a bit of a nondescript location.
