Spain #1: View from Mirador de Corzon

This photo was taken in the evening of day 2 of the trek. It marked a significant moment for me when the trek came to life and the concept shifted from an idea to reality. I had hiked approximately 30km that day when I found this hill rising up above the surrounding farmland. I camped on the top, very close to this viewpoint so that I could witness the sunset. After pitching my tent and cooking a dinner on my camp stove, I headed to the viewpoint wearing many layers to ward off the cold.

 

This image was taken during my coast-to-coast trek across Northern Spain. I walked from the western most point of the Spanish mainland to the eastern most point, a journey of 1,800km, taking 74 days. I carried the full gamut of landscape photography equipment with me for the entire trip, making photographs of the landscapes I walked through. I will be posting one photo a day from my trip, from a portfolio of about 80 – 100 images that I intend to self-publish in a book later this year.
