Love the laundry line.Two of my own favorite pics feature trees, for some reason. The why is easy. The first one, taken somewhere between Castrojeriz and Fromista, has for me the sense of peace I felt on that particular stretch of Camino. I choose it as my avatar as well.
The second one I took in Galicia, where I continually had a feeling of coming home. It must have been the rain and fog, coming from Holland. For me the photo radiates promise.

You'll be missed. Enjoy your projects and activities the new year is bringing you.At least until next year.
That's stunningView attachment 30938
My favourite this year came in the form of a sunrise in Burgos. 8 months later as I look back on my all my photos this one in particular brings back a great sense of spirituality and feelings of optomisism and joy... it was nice to find this moment and be able to bring it home with me.
At least until next year.
But things are very full in life right now and won't slow down much until May, so I'll be here sporadically. But I will be thinking of you all!
In the meantime Here is my favorite Camino photo from this year, taken above Santo Domingo de Silos headed towards Burgos. I wasn't exactly on the Ebro--I was wrong. But it was a stunning view, with the way ahead winding out into the distance. Those are the Montes de Oca in the distance, South of where the Frances crosses before San Juan de Ortega. It captures the feel of this solitary walk beautifully; the silence and beauty was very special.
What is your favorite Camino image from 2016 and why? (Edit~Please don't be shy! It'll be fun to see what part of the Camino you have seen as somehow 'special')
Thanks for your good wishes, friends!we'll see you again soon I hope
Can you please post the photo, @OTH86 ? I'd love to see it!Shortly after sunrise on 28 Oct this year - not far from Camponaraya - a white-bow
Thank you for posting this beautiful photograph. I agree with Viranani that it is almost biblical in quality and so like a fine painting. Superb! I was ill at ease in Burgos for whatever reason - perhaps exhaustion from the long walk in via the industrial area having missed the turning to enter the city along the river route - but this image makes me want to go back and see the beauty of the city.View attachment 30938

How interesting. This must be your fifth or sixth post since Sunday, when you said you were not going to be posting until next year! I was wondering how you were going to stay away for a whole year when you made your cute little joke early on New Years morning here in Australia!More beauty--and 'more than my fair share' is only relevant in taking. Giving? As much as you all like is fine with me. Who makes the rules anyway?
Thank you all! My 10 minutes here are well spent.
I can feel the fog on my face and the trickle of moisture down my neck, hear the whoosh of the Botafumerio and the clatter of footsteps on the cobbles...and much much more.
Where I am it was about 10 PM on the 31st when I posted that, Doug.How interesting. This must be your fifth or sixth post since Sunday, when you said you were not going to be posting until next year!
@dougfitz, why are you here without a photo?It certainly isn't an issue for me - I quite enjoyed the irony of your promise.
Was there a secret handshake I forgot to give as well??@dougfitz, why are you here without a photo?
It's a secret.Was there a secret handshake I forgot to give as well??
That's interesting. Wow, talk about working with what you got, huh?I circled Leon Cathedral. This section of wall was around the back in a narrow space. I wondered who built it. Not a bishop or a master mason, just a rubble guy who remembered all his life those weeks each year when he offered his labour.

It isn't my favorite and it is from 2015 not 2016 but it brings a smile to everyone's face when they see it.What is your favorite Camino image from 2016 and why?
So well said...!!! I too remember those exact feelings and emotions on my first morning. Thanks for reminding me of that dayTaken on the first morning's walk out of St Jean and just before the beginning of the uphill climb to Orisson. I've taken other photos that were prettier, better, but I'll always remember the feeling I had when I took this picture of the sun rising over St Jean. A mixture of nerves and excitement, vulnerability and joy as I turned around and left St Jean and my old life behind. Utterly alone and setting off into the unknown. There have been times since when I've asked myself, would I return to this moment if it meant erasing everything that happened thereafter. The answer is no but it is a fun question to ponder nevertheless. View attachment 31026
Great memory...! I walked down to that farmyard... and was turned around by the farmer when he pointed out I had missed the trail heading up the side slopeI'll add one more on this thread. My favorite photo I took from any of the CF's I walked. It was taken on the first day of my first CF in 2013. I took the ValCarlos route. Didn't even know then that there were two routes to Roncesvalles and the ValCarlos was the one I ran into first after I took a right on the roadway out of the Central Hotel. I didn't have one of those maps from the pilgrim's office or even a guidebook showing both. Anyway, I'm glad I went that route and it was quite beautiful.

It was somewhere around there that I got off the path, too. I only saw about 5-6 other pilgrims the whole day, until I reached Roncesvalles, and one guy, a Spaniard, saw me going the wrong way and whistled to get my attention. I finally turned around and saw him waving and motioning me to the right path. I owe that dude. He's also the one that told me there was another route, the Napoleon. I just thought nobody was walking that day, ha ha.Great memory...!

Don't forget to attach it!View attachment 31076 I like this one for it's iconic nature. Most people are pretty familiar with this road sign in Roncesvalles but not too many have had a chance to just see the top few inches of it. Needless to say we walked along the road on this day!
@Viranani, No we only met them in SDC near the Pilgrim Office I was fascinated with the middleones footwear (obviously not done many muddy paths). The spoke a little English but we understood he /they had walked then in boots and dressed up a little more tradditional on arrival!@pilgrim b , there has to be a story behind the second photo--did you connect with these folks?
Hi Ray,love the feelds with the yellow flowers.A lucky shot of my girlfriend on a beautiful day.
