Let's Make Some Art, Dammit

July 24, 2015. Took the train to A Coruña on the north coast of Spain, overlooking the Bay of Biscay, and walked 10km from the train station to this promontory on which stands the 1st century Roman lighthouse called the Tower of Hercules . It was rehabilitated in the late 1700s and is in excellent shape, and of course, I climed the 284 steps to the top. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1RYRfDS

July 23, 2015. Mostly a day to recover and have a very long dinner with my hosts, but I also found time to take a walk around the northeast part of the city, where I found these stairs. As soon as I saw them I knew I would be climbing them. Nothing but brush and farmland on the other side; the stairs were alongside an old aquaduct that fed water into what otherwise would have been a dry valley. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1IqstIb

July 22, 2015. I walked 13 kilometers through Santiago today but this photo was taken in the Square after a nice meal (my first meal featuring squid ink) in the city centre (with live music in the background). From Flickr http://ift.tt/1IeYQmN

July 18, 2015. Arrived in Santiago de Compestela after an extra-long trip from Moncton (sadly my flight to Madrid was delayed 3 hours, depriving me of an afternoon in that city). I had a chance to walk around for a bit in the evening getting to see a Saturday night in Spain. My first impression of Santiago is very favourable. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1HKrihi
