Camino de Santiago, Day 7. Village churches are often closed when we pass them on the trail, and, if not, we're often too tired to fully appreciate them. Today we rose later and walked more slowly, which helped on both counts. One of the highlights of the day was this small and beautiful 12th century sandstone church (Santo Sepulcro in Torres del Rio), octagonal in shape and Romanesque in style with some Mudejar elements as well (Muslim-influenced architecture in Christian lands in Spain). The dome ceiling is decorated in a wonderful style that originated in Jaca, a town in Aragón that we visited last year.

Please visit Spirit of the Camino, my website about the unique and magical experience that is the Camino de Santiago.

Quite surprised me to find her crouched on the floor, positioning the shot carefully to get this! She only had two attempts at it! Better than me! Quite an artistic eye I thought!

Now that's craftsmanship. How on earth do you create a thing like that?

This is the four thousandth photo I've put on Flickr, as it turns out. I've got another of this ceiling somewhere from several years ago so photo number 4,000 is essentially a repeat, but what the hell. This one's better anyway :)
