If so, that is not what it was called in 2006. I can't recall the name - I will ask Joe, who has a much better memory than I.Is that the door to Beilari? That was the starting point for my first Camini too?
RightHontanas was easily one of my favourite surprises on my first Camino. Can remember looking at my GPS thinking this can’t be right... says I’m less than 500m from town but I can’t see any town...? Lo and behold, 5 minutes later...️
Awesome!!! July ‘2016 for me. I couldn’t believe there was no one else in the photo. When I went through in 2013The historic Pamplona Town Hall at dawn in September 2019, as I left town to continue my Camino.

I'm the same. People rarely feature in my photos!Quiet Castrojeriz in 2011. Ha, by now you must see a pattern : I like empty towns and roads...

Funny that you wrote that. I was looking at all the pictures posted since bedtime using the album applet for expanding the thumbnails before going back to read the posted texts and my mind said to my brain "That must be Sabine's. Does she even have a picture of a road with people on it? Anyway, I really like 'em."Quiet Castrojeriz in 2011. Ha, by now you must see a pattern : I like empty towns and roads...

After reaching Muxia we slowly headed back to Pamplona along the north coast using buses and trains. We kept seeing yellow arrows. At the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao there was a huge exhibition of art works by Jeff Koons. The only thing of his we liked though was outside.
View attachment 92340
Agreed. Besides the floor for Koons there was another for Jean-Michel Basquiat. There were maybe two small works of his that we liked, for the subject, nothing more. Amazing that some of their stuff sells in the $100,000,000 range, plus or minus.The Guggenheim in Bilbao is the only museum I've been to where the exterior was more interesting than the interior.

Me neither!...right after a rain April '16.View attachment 92376
While we're on the subject of the Guggenheim in Bilbao, I offer this.
In six weeks walking across Spain in the late summer and early autumn of 2018, I don't think I took a finer picture.
how lovely to find this bit of shade on a baking hot day!
For some reason I can't open your photoSame here.
But sometimes there are ghosts.
Someone built this house wth love and anticipation. Now only a fig tree lives here.

I've seen this problem elsewhere and reported to Ivar. The URL to the picture send out in the HTML markup for the thread is incorrect. The error doesn't appear to be created by either anyone's browser or something the poster did.For some reason I can't open your photo
Thank you. In fairness though I had nothing to do with putting that building behind Puppy. For the original photo I used my camera's zoom to try to get rid of the buildings on each side of the street I was on. I cropped even more later.I love your shot. I love the way the structure in the background looks.
I just submitted a photo and the same thing happened. I was able to submit it again with a different name and that one was okay. When I reported the problem to Ivar I gave him a guess as to what may be causing the problem and it looks like I was right, at least in my case. Submit your jpeg photos with the suffix jpg because my original one that created an error had the suffix jpeg.I've seen this problem elsewhere and reported to Ivar.

John, I found the little card they gave us. The name of the albergue was L'Esprit du chemiN and I believe it was sold and now has another name.Is that the door to Beilari? That was the starting point for my first Camini too?
thought I was looking at a shadow of St. James.Continuing 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:

Oh dear. Thanks for letting me know, @Theatregal. Fixed!For some reason I can't open your photo
Hardly!thought I was looking at a shadow of St. James.
I found it. In is in the first village, Villaval, after coming down the hill between Atapuerca and Burgos. The red pin in the screenshot below shows the location and the coordinates are shown also. I used gpsvisualizer.com with an OpenCycleMap base map (because they mark fountains prominently) to find possible locations and then used Google Streetview to look around. I found it at the first fountain off the hill, the order I decided to search in, so that saved me some work.number 133.
I know it is after Atapuerca, from the order, but exactly where... surely someone knows!!!

I like challenges like this one where it isn't to me personally. If I fail I just keep quiet and let @Kathar1na solve it (if she didn't already).I might have known it was a challenge right up your alley!
One possible workaround is to get your picture displayed on your phone and take a screenshot of it. On my Android phone screenshots end up having the suffix of ".png" which is allowed. Other Android phones may save a screenshot with a ".jpg" suffix or allow you a choice in settings. I don't know what iPhones do but it shouldn't be much work to find out. Don't forget to delete the screenshot after submitting it. They can eat up a lot of space.I’m saying goodbye to this thread because the formate for photos has been changed from jpeg to jpg. I use my iPhoto to access this site and submit my photos from there. I don’t know how to change the name so I guess I’ll say audios. I enjoyed it while it lasted. Hope you all enjoy everyone’s memories.
Rick ‘s suggestion is a good one. Why not try it out? Don’t give up!I’m saying goodbye to this thread because the formate for photos has been changed from jpeg to jpg.

Hope you can keep posting! I post using both my iPhone and my Mac. If from my phone, I take a screenshot and crop, which sizes it well to post. If posting from my Mac, I export from iPhoto to my desktop, choosing one size down (large) and attach from there.I’m saying goodbye to this thread because the formate for photos has been changed from jpeg to jpg.

The inside of said Centro Cultural; @SabineP is right - it was very sweet.Leaving Ameyugo ( where we fueled up on a very good coffee in the simple but charming centro cultural ) for the climb to Pancorbo.
One of the most beautiful stretches of the Camino.Another alternate route option we chose between Villafranca de Bierzo to Los Harrerias! It was a big climb early in the morning. But what a view it was

Before reaching that memorial I spent a half-hour trying to get a whining cat down from a limb on a thorny tree. It, being a cat, did not want to help me help it. I eventually gave up but not before I broke off some branches that were easy for the cat to handle when going out on the limb but not for heading back to the ground.The Civil War memorial outside Villafranca Montes de Oca at dawn.
Beautiful photo!
One of those places where I will explore more on my next Camino.
On the other side of this bridge, I found my second Camino family.
It sure was, nothing beats the view from being up high!One of the most beautiful stretches of the Camino.
I remember this section very clearly, there was certainly a different atmosphere walking through those pine plantations....peacefulView attachment 92585
I read somewhere that a pilgrim walking from St-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Santiago de Compostela will climb 8km in height, only to give it all back again, somewhere along the Way.
This view on the stretch to St Juan de Ortega illustrates this rather well.
Join in! one a day will last a long time. Any camino, any sequence.Love all these photographs. Thanks for sharing.
It is so informative to get this kind of information. I still depend on my eye gauging the difficulty of each incline, and decline of course. Just one at a time is enough for me. If I really knew ahead, I would sit down like the donkey. if that is in fact what donkeys do.View attachment 92585

EDIT: I've now been informed that we actually gain 13.4km in vertical ascent, and lose a tiny bit more by the end in Obradoiro Square.
That's one and a half Everests.

That was not a feature in 2006! At least, not on 26th June.
The title is obvious: "Why?".Thank you. In fairness though I had nothing to do with putting that building behind Puppy. For the original photo I used my camera's zoom to try to get rid of the buildings on each side of the street I was on. I cropped even more later.
I'm having trouble coming up with a catchy title for this shot.

Interesting structure. It looks like an old charcoal kiln. There are a series of them in mountains aboveView attachment 91572
Poyo de Roldán, the monument to the local "David" who slew Ferragut, a fearsome giant from the occupying forces, with a well-aimed rock.
It was fascinating to learn about these local legends along the Way.
I love that window, too! So much stained glass but found much of it hard to photograph well. This one was a star!Camino Frances- September, 2014 Interior of Leon Cathedral, those beautiful stained glass windows.

Wait! I just tried to share a photo with someone on the forum and got the message that it had the wrong extension name. So I just deleted the e from jpeg, and hey presto, it worked!

I've just been speaking with Ivar on the Zoom chat and he said he was going to take a look at this.Wait!

I just added the ability to upload jpeg photos again... try and see if this works now.I've just been speaking with Ivar on the Zoom chat and he said he was going to take a look at this.
Did you know that all of the stained glass was removed to repair a falling ceiling? It was all labeled and stored in boxes for fifty years and then re-assembled to its current beauty...amazing!I love that window, too!
