Pèlerins à travers les siècles

A lonely old lady enjoys the coolness that comes with the shadows of the night, sitting in the alley leading to the whitewashed church. The combination of public / private space is common in the Cyclades and the rest of the Aegean. Tinos island, Greece.

Hiking family climb over a rocky beach to visit St Govan’s chapel. Built into the side of a limestone cliff, the building measures 20 by 12 feet (6.1 m × 3.7 m) with walls constructed from limestone, and consists of two chambers, one in the front and one in the back.[1] The majority of the chapel was built in the thirteenth century, although parts of it may date back further to the sixth century when Saint Govan, a monk moved into a cave located on the site of the chapel. One legend suggests that Saint Govan is buried underneath the chapel's altar, located at the east end of the building.

Arrivé à Saugues . Jour 2 de notre Camino en France en 2019.

Sunrise at the Lindisfarne Nature Reserve looking at the pilgrims Way, a path across the reserve that the monks used to take to Holy Island. Bamburgh castle is in the background.

The Pilgrim is a full sized replica of the hide brig that Richard Henry Dana Jr worked on and wrote about in his novel Two Years Before the Mast. Anchored in Dana Point Harbor, California. The Ocean Institute operates an education program that teaches children about the history of seafaring and how to work the rigging and other chores of the crew of a tall ship.

Identifiable by his white clothing, staff and traditional hat, a pilgrim picks his way down the 267 steep cobblestone steps of the Daimon-zaka, the traditional pathway to and from the sacred shrine of Kumano Nachi Taisha.

The Pilgrim's Way is the historic walking route to Holy Island. The route is marked by large wooden poles and is covered by water twice a day, when the tide is in. This is how the original pilgrims have made the causeway crossing for hundreds of years since 635 AD. Travelling on foot or horseback at low tide was actually the only way to access Lindisfarne until 1954 when the modern road was built.

These rocks, somewhere between Monterey and Carmel, probably have an official name. But I don't know what it is, so I will just call them pilgrims.

Happy pilgrims, having concluded their Camino de Santiago walk, on the square outside the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in the Spanish province of Galicia. This is believed to be the resting place of St James the Apostle.

La voie des pèlerins

Nam Tso གནམ་མཚོ།

 

The lake lies at an elevation of 4,718 m, and has a surface area of 1,870 square kilometres. It is the highest salt lake in the world, and largest salt lake in the Tibet Autonomous Region. However, it is not the largest salt lake in the Tibetan Plateau. That title belongs to KokoNor མཚོ་སྔོན་ མཚོ་ཁྲི ་ཤོར་རྒྱལ་མོ་ (almost twice the size of Namtso). Namtso has five uninhabited islands of reasonable size, in addition to one or two rocky outcrops. The islands have been used for spiritual retreat by pilgrims who walk over the lake's frozen surface at the end of winter, carrying their food with them. They spend the summer there, unable to return to shore again until the water freezes the following winter. This practice is no longer permitted under the Communist Chinese regime in Tibet. www.footprinttravelguides.com/c/2848/tibet/&Action=pr...

Scherpenheuvel, Belgium (2021)

Another photo from my archives before Covid when so much was taken for granted. The annual Festival of Sails which is the highlight of Labor Day weekend in the San Diego harbor is usually attended by approximately 125,000 people over the three-day event. I'm hoping the pandemic will have run its course after over two years and the festival will again resume this year.

 

In researching The Pilgrim, I was shocked to discover that in 2020 while it was docked in Dana Point it met its demise. "One of the most iconic visuals at Dana Point Harbor is no more, as Pilgrim, the resident tall ship at the Ocean Institute dock, keeled over in her slip overnight, it was announced on March 29. Pilgrim’s useful life was rendered over as a result."

 

Pilgrim, which measured 98 feet in length and had a beam of 24.6 feet, arrived in Dana Point as a replica in 1981.

 

I guess we all have an expiration date, even a Tall Ship.
