Petra took this picture of the Sangre de Christi mountains and her cart on the Raton Pass just after we walked into southeastern Colorado on our walk across America to Jerusalem. This is also a good photo of our flag. (7 April 2009)
After many days waiting for this shot, I finally got a picture showing the extreme order the farmers put into their vineyard fields in La Mancha, Spain. I was walking the Camino de Levante near Santiago de la Torre. (12 April 2012)
In this Camino de Levante photo two cyclists from the island of Jersey pedal up the road near Santiago de la Torre under the eye of an Osborne Bull. There are 92 of these 14-foot-high, black bulls scattered around Spain. We have seen three or four. They were originally advertisements for the Osborne Sherry Company. Then they were mostly removed because of a ban on all road advertisements. The people protested and they were brought back because they had become a part of the landscape and had "aesthetic or cultural significance." But in the end they had to be painted totally black to remove any sign of advertisement. (Source en.wikipidia.org) (13 April 2012)

As we finished our pilgrimage to Jerusalem by bus, we stopped a few hours at the Pyramids in Cairo: The Pyramids of Khufu (c. 2566 BCE), Khafre (c. 2532 BCE), and Menkaure (c. 2504 BCE) in the late afternoon sun with Cairo in the background. Khufu's is the largest. It looks smaller because is a more distant and on a bit lower ground. (15 December 2010)
