Okay then. Here's a picture of the bottle of cava we had for New Year's Eve, the one I just mentioned in my last post in the last thread. I brought it down to what is usually our beach to match my last picture but, as you can see, the beach is hiding under the river and the river is trying to hide under the ice.Haha, please don't feel shy to post here again today even if you already posted in the other thread!
Food of the gods, Porto, September 2019Continuing our wonderful sharing on a new thread. (Haha, please don't feel shy to post here again today even if you already posted in the other thread! And don't worry about repeating yourself — none of us are the same people we were 6 months ago nor do we have the same eyes.)
Today's choice is inspired by @JohnLloyd's shadowplay yesterday:

Is "The Way" still playing in the corner?
Sadly, it was not open when I went through in 2018 and I had heard that it was closed down. Wonder if anyone has heard differently?Is "The Way" still playing in the corner?
Gorgeous craftsmanship!During the video tour that Ivar gave us of the cathedral, I noticed the new very plain blonde wood pews that I assume are meant to better match the glorious bright lightness of the restored interior. I only see them once every year or twobut when I do visit, I will miss the aged patina of the old oak pews with their wonderfully detailed arms.

I just watched the program that Ivar posted about the restoration. At one point there was a close view of the new pews and they seem almost too plain - almost "unfinished". I wonder now if they are place holders and maybe the old pews are being cleaned and restored. HopefulGorgeous craftsmanship!
It's so interesting to see other people's photos of the same place — with different weather, different seasons, different moods. I've passed this place three times, and each time it was new. Here it is on the last day of May, 2019:
I've made this observation before, but here goes again.Gaudí's Episcopal Palace in Astorga.
Your image is so much more inviting! Love those poppies... I have yet to see a few things on a Camino... poppies, leaves on vines and lots of people. 2 of the 3 I look forward to one dayIt's so interesting to see other people's photos of the same place — with different weather, different seasons, different moods.

Agreed. This is ours from 9th, September, 2014. Much drier!

Handy that the sun rises at your back for many of the Camino routes... cheap solar dryingThe walking clothesline. This was on the Norte, but it's common to all the caminos.

I was utterly entranced by the Episcopal Palace at Astorga too.I've made this observation before, but here goes again.
Having been a Gaudi fan for many years and having been to three of his stuff in Barcelona when on an enforced rest in May 2016 I was hell bent to ensure I was could spend time in and around this building.
As I understand it, the epicopus what commissioned dies before it was complete and the successors declined to spend even one night inside.
It was more of a riot of space and form than I had expected. In going around I became sort of giddy with trying to work out the spatial relationships of the rooms and spaces to one another.
Until, that is, I encountered plans and a model on the upper floors.
It was quite simple: the floor plan was a cross with the arms approximately of equal length.
Kia kaha and thanks for this photo.
Did you see this painting while you were there?I've made this observation before, but here goes again.

I had not noticed that before either, but you're right!While I noticed both buildings at the time, it is only now sitting at my desk can I see, from your composition, a striking similarity in material and profile notwithstanding their different purposes.
No one actually said the picture had to be one that you took on a Camino. So no rules bent — and it's amazing to see the snow!Bending the rules here to get a nice pic of O Cebreiro up. From the live feed outside the hostal for those that were wishing they were there.

Another intriguing sculpture, this time in Viana.
Does anyone know the story behind this one?
That's just what I hoped for - what a lovely story.El Auroro de Viana.
"
El canto de la aurora es una tradición religiosa en la que se cantan, antes del amanecer, canciones para el santo del día para llamar así a los fieles a rezar el rosario o a misa. Esta tradición se perdió con el paso de los años, el último auroro de Viana fue el pastor Pedro Angulo Rozas, que salía solo a cantarla en la primera mitad del siglo XX. A este está dedicada la escultura que podemos ver a un lado de la portada gótica de la iglesia de Santa María de la Asunción. Actualmente la ciudad tiene un coro de auroros de Viana que lleva el nombre del pastor. "

Monumento al Auroro.
Interesting story.
I would guess it became more hectic do to the movie “The Way”. 2013 is when I set out on my first Camino. The movie inspired me.Estella/Lizarra.Camino Francès in April 2011. Such a peaceful and quiet Camino that year. Could not believe how hectic it became two years later when I walked parts of the CF again.

I’ve read that four modern literary/cinematic events happened that caused big influxes of Pilgrims: Shirley MacLaine (Journey of the Spirit), Poalo Coehlo influenced the Brazilians (The Pilgrimage), Hape Kerkling influenced the Germans (I’m Off Then) and finally, Emilio Estevez influenced the North Americans (The Way). I’m sure the were many others in other parts of the world!I would guess it became more hectic do to the movie “The Way”. 2013 is when I set out on my first Camino. The movie inspired me.
Wow beautiful.One of the greatest things about winter pilgrimage is that you don’t have to get up crazy early to see sunrises and the golden hour.

Oops!!! It appears I have broken the rules for this thread by posting multiple times today and multiple photos. I’m sorry, I was just so excited to find a thread I could thoroughly enjoy.
Welcome, and as SabineP says, please keep posting.Not really rules but rather a more or less general agreement here.
Please keep posting.
It can get chilly but with the right clothes and sleeping bag, it’s pretty comfortable and you rarely need to worry about sweating too muchWow beautiful.I’ve walked Fall, Spring and Summer. I don’t think I could endure a winter Camino. Coming from a cold winter climate I felt the Spring Camino was a lot colder and wetter then I had hoped for.
Does it rain a lot? I see snow In O’Cebreiro and Roncesvillas how about lower elevations?It can get chilly but with the right clothes and sleeping bag, it’s pretty comfortable and you rarely need to worry about sweating too much
Where is this lovely place, @kirkie ?
To me, it looks like Zurbiri. BeautifulWhere is this lovely place, @kirkie ?
According to my notes, La Rabia.Where is this lovely place, @kirkie ?
I have no complaint about the number but the size causes problems for some. That makes it hard for them to enjoy the thread. If people have an old or slow system they have to wait for megabytes of files they may have already seen to load before seeing the new pictures. I made two posts on how to send pictures as thumbnails. The second follows immediately after the first one here: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...d-you-walk-locally-in-2021.69119/#post-891744Oops!!!

I love the old way markers, just love them. This one is so beautiful.Caminho Portugues- May, 2016 Between Pontevedra and Caldas de Reis. Shortly after leaving San Amaro"s Meson Don Pulpo for a brief coffee break and shelter from the torrential rain. Think it is Cruceiro de Parada.

Gosh, the river seems quite high! Was there any risk of flooding? The Albergue looks great.View attachment 90845

Haha! We all know what you meanI made it to the green monster just before sunrise
Pace yourself, @four seasons.Oops!!! It appears I have broken the rules for this thread by posting multiple times today and multiple photos.
Absolutely.Always, always, look up at the ceilings. So often so many treasures hidden in plain view.
Dalí Museum, Figueres, on the Camino Catalan.Always, always, look up at the ceilings. So often so many treasures hidden in plain view.

I didn't at first. Not until I saw the picture and remembered some posts. We missed it. As soon as we made it to the Albergue de Jesus in Mazarife Peg could literally walk no farther. She was lame with a case of tendonitis. She had to hop. A day of rest did no good. The next day Jesus, running an errand, brought us a bit out of his way to the clinic in Astorga.Haha! We all know what you mean
Geez, why are my picture postings such a hot topic? But for all the wrong reasons.Pace yourself, @four seasons.
We're in this for the long haul. One pic per day for a year is...well, you know...it adds up.
And it'd be a pity if you ran out.
Hi @FourSeasons - keep in mind that if you’d like to post many photos at once, you always have the option to post to the media section of the forum where there definitely isn’t a limit of one photo per dayGeez, why are my picture postings such a hot topic?Rick doesn’t have a complaint about how many pictures. You shouldn’t either. Besides it’s the size that matters oh and I have plenty Camino pics, you’ll see.
I appreciate that but isn’t having a story behind the pictures a part of this thread?Hi @FourSeasons - keep in mind that if you’d like to post many photos at once, you always have the option to post to the media section of the forum where there definitely isn’t a limit of one photo per day
