In mid-October, my wife Patty told me that one of her coworkers was interested in me taking photos of her young family. It worked out that we could meet at Frying Pan Park, in Herndon, Virginia, early on Saturday, October 23rd. The conditions were chilly, but the kids still had a good time. And considering the conditions, the photos turned out pretty well.
The weather conditions were beautiful on our fifth day of hiking on the Camino dos Faros. But soon after I took this photo, the trail conditions turned dramatically more dangerous.
The steeples of El Santuario de la Virgen da Barca (The Sanctuary of our Virgin of the Sea), at Punta da Barca ou de Xavina near Múxia just past sunset, as the fishing fleet heads out to sea.
This is the Faro de Cabo Vilán. It was a great start to another great day of hiking.
From the end of our second day on the Camino dos Faros, this photo shows carved granite crucifixes that stand at the lighthouse Punta de Roncudo. The 20 minutes that we were able to spend here before darkness fell were absolutely breathtaking.
The oldest operating lighthouse in the world, this is el Torre de Hércules (the Tower of Hercules). Standing on a bluff extending from the city of A Coruña, this working monument served as the starting point for our adventures on the northwest coast of Spain.
This entry briefly describes our hike from Palas de Rei to Melide (pronounced, “Melid-e”), and it shows photos we took of some sights along the way.
In this entry I describe elements of my journey to Palas de Rei, Spain, my first encounters with new friends, and I show photos from my brief bike trip to see a local 14th century castle.
