Surfs Up! (In the desert??) When the wind picks up, the flow of sand must get more "fluid"... I was there during a relatively calm day, so I did not get to see it. BTW, both surfers and snow boarders practice their sports down large sand dunes in the Sahara and the experience appears to have a similar "look and feel"....
Surfs Up! (In the desert??) Thanks for thinking of me with the "surfing plants". Was the sand flowing past them?
And I also get the sense of peace from actual surfing that you get from your trips to the desert.
Just something As formar Producer for Natural History Program , I can say, even in here Vegas, you can find amazing wild life.
A bird, just around Luxsor this morning, they singed just like a signal of mobile phone call. Pi Pi Pi, PI, Pi, Pi, PI-PI-Pi. I was loooked for my mobile phone.
Loved your pilgrim photos Begonia, My primary camera is a Canon EOS-1, but when I do walking treks I use a Canon G9, which is much more compact and easy to carry. I still need to do the Way of Saint James the way that you plan to do it. This time, I arrived into Santiago the easy way... :-( You will need a travel guide book; a sleeping mat may be optional if you opt to sleep at the "peregrino" lodges along the way. If you just do the segment between the French border and Santiago, you won't have any problems finding places to sleep.
Loved your pilgrim photos I just hope my time over May through to July will be as photogenic. What make camera do you use. One with a supper zoom from Santigos shot I bet?.
How long did you spend walking and did you carry much gear? I am specially intereted as to whether you took a sleeping mat and travel guide book??
I have just started my blog and hope to write a bit before I go, then continue once I start my camino from about the 20th May 09.
Regards Begonia
Amazing Sky ! I've seen a lot of pictures of sunset on Travelblog, but your version truly looked amazing. Nice blog and Great Pics !...well done !...cheers ! Jo:>
great pics Danny y Lore, Gracias por el comentario... ¡No muy a menudo los recibo en español! Voy a contestar el correo electrónico con un poco más de detalle, pero realmente no hay ningún secreto aparte de dedicación y mucha paciencia... En esta vacación, me dediqué a capturar amaneceres y atardeceres (y no todos los dias fueron ideales)....
Wow, great shots! Thank YOU liliram! I hope that you do visit Spain a third time and find the time to visit the Galicia region... It is incredibly beautiful and the people are so friendly and hospitable... I will be back one of these days too.
Wow, great shots! Thanks for the blog. I have long planned to visit Santiago de Compostela, but missed it the 2 times I visited Spain. Perhaps on my 3rd visit. Keep it coming. It has been awhile since your last blog.
Santiago de Compostela! Hi!!
I´m Rakel from Spain! I saw your pictures of Galicia, they are so beautiful. I´m glad that you spent such a good time in my country.
Many kissess
Banners Clint, When you add a blog entry on Travelblog.org and you add photos via the "Blog Entry Photo Management" screen, on the left of the pop-up, there is a button labeled "Panorama (Beta)"... It allows you to upload the panorama and create the banner for you... Very easy!
Sounds fun Clint, When you visit Copán, you might want to do it for at least a couple of days (if not more!)... There is much to do and see there, including horseback exploring of some sites beyond the main complexes. I did the panoramc photo using a small Canon G9 camera that I carry with me most of the time... It has a very handy function for taking several pictures in such a way that you can group them together with some special software later. Thanks for your comment!
Hello!
Welcome to my travelblogs!
More than anything, these blogs are a means for capturing my thoughts and experiences as I wander the World. Though they are now useful for sharing these experiences with friends and family, I hope that they will also help me relive the experiences someday when my memories become dulled by time.
I have been fortunate enough during my lifetime to have straddled the developing and developed areas of the planet. During my childhood in my native El Salvador, I was amused but extremely curious about these strange visitors that a... full info
