Up In The Highlands – Pano of the Week
by johnandterri
This week’s Pano of the Week comes after coming down off the highest point of the Camino at about 5,000 ft.
At this high point of the Camino there a simple Iron Cross called the Cruz de Ferro. The base of the cross is filled with a huge pile of rocks deposited by the Camino Pilgrims. The Camino tradition is to bring a rock and leave it on the pile of rocks. The tradition is that as you deposit the rock as you ask for a blessing or as a symbol of leaving whatever burden or sin behind. (if you have seen the movie “The Way” you might remember this scene).

John and Terri, Even though I’m sitting at work, I enjoy reading your blog and looking at the photos. It put me in a different mood when it came to raking leaves this year. It’s not a chore anymore, but rather a chance to walk around outside to do some thinking. Cheers, Ernie Kanning
