.DoughnutANZ,
As we all recall our favorite views I wonder if your title comes from a memory of the chorus of the song The Long, Long Trail .
Written in 1913 with lyrics by Stoddard King and music by Alonzo "Zo" Elliot when both were at Yale Collège this song rallied English-speaking troops throughout the western front during World War I.
How beautiful.An even more poignant song. Harry Lauder was a famous Scottish music hall entertainer. This is a song written after his only son was killed in battle during World War 1 – ‘On 28th December 1916, Harry's only son John Lauder, who was a Captain in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, was killed at Pozières’, so it would have sad resonances for the audiences who heard it.
Keep Right on to the End of the Road
Every road through life is a long, long road,
Filled with joys and sorrows too,
As you journey on how your heart will yearn
For the things most dear to you.
With wealth and love 'tis so,
But onward we must go.
Chorus:
Keep right on to the end of the road,
Keep right on to the end,
If the way be long, let your heart be strong,
Keep right on round the bend.
If you're tired and weary still journey on,
Till you come to your happy abode,
Where all you love that you're dreaming of
Will be there at the end of the road.
With a big stout heart to a long steep hill,
We may get there with a smile,
With a good kind thought and an end in view,
We may cut short many a mile.
So let courage every day
Be your guiding star always.
Sir Harry Lauder

Usually I walked out of a sunrise. I had to turn around to see them. I think on the Madrid and the Portugues there were times when we walked a bit more east than west, though.Walking into another beautiful sunrise somewhere outside of Santa D (I think)

I think sir, that you have spotted my very blatant error!!Usually I walked out of a sunrise. I had to turn around to see them. I think on the Madrid and the Portugues there were times when we walked a bit more east than west, though.
heading for Reliegos ?
Beautiful photo - the tree path, pilgrim path and car path vanishing point!
No idea! I confess to having lost access to the 900 photos in an easy way.heading for Reliegos ?
Wow!Looking back down the road on the way to Castrojeriz
@Purky this top photo is so beautiful - where did you take it and would it be ok with you if I possibly use this as a LinkedIn header? I will give you the appropriate photo cred if you'd like to share your preferred name for that.

Thank you @DoughnutANZ for starting this thread. I like seeing everyone’s photos as they bring back wonderful camino memories and you inspired me to watch the slideshow of my VdlP photos taken last year. I wish I was back there !None of these three are winding

Aliens teleported all the pilgrims to another solar system? Or wasn't there a Mavel superhero movie where almost everyone disintegrated all at once into dust? Could that have happened here?Okay, I'll play again. These three were all taken July 17, 2023, between Salceda and Santa Irena on the Camino Frances (that is, well within the dreaded last 100 km). What's missing?

If it did, the conspiracy was very effective in keeping it out of the newspapers. Or maybe this section doesn't have to be as terrible as people make out it is, even in the busy times of year.Aliens teleported all the pilgrims to another solar system?

Thanks, Annie! It makes a really nice wallpaper. Yes, that 2nd pic is the maw of the Tunel San Adrien, as you approach it from below. It's quite dramatic.Is the 2nd pic …. In the mountains ., is that the túnel san Adrian often spoken of on that route ??
