Walking in Basque Country

My friend Geoff Travers posted some photos of walking from St. Jean Pied de Port in France through the Pyrenees to Pamplona on his blog yesterday, and those images have inspired me to dig out the portable drive where my photographs live and post some of my own.

I’m surprised by how few photographs I actually took over those three or four days of walking—and how few of the ones I did take are worth sharing. I think I tend to get absorbed by the walk (and by conversations with the people I’m walking with) and forget to take pictures. Also, most of my photos from the Pyrenees are foggy from the rain and mist that collected on the lens of my camera. But despite everything, these pictures do help me remember the beginning of my first long walk.
