Bridges of the Camino de Santiago | Photo essay

I have learned a lot about life and gained a lot of experiences while walking el Camino de Santiago, for example I learned to Pack as Light as possible, that a hard road can be just completing a beautiful landscape and also that the more I climb up, the harder it is to descend!

I have also learned things about myself, one thing I noticed while looking at the 1000+ pictures I took is that I have something for bridges. There are loads of pictures of bridges! Small bridges, huge bridges, pictures of rivers from above bridges, and others from below the bridges; there is just a load of them in my library now.

And that is when I decided to share some of them with you, without much comment in between, because simply they are all just bridges. But they really still amaze me even when I just look at them in pictures!

As usual, that first bridge was a very significant one...

And this wasn’t the only time I stood on a bridge to take a picture of another bridge, or just of water passing below me (I am fascinated by that view! Don’t ask!)

This one was specifically...interesting...

And sometimes I even decided to take a photo from above the bridge, but with no water included, just of the city ahead of me when I was crossing that bridge..

And then there was the photo under the bridge…

And also the bridge side views, Spain at the time I was there had so many bridges with no water underneath them, which looked kind of weird…

and some were just normal, with water passing under them

Puente la Reina (Bridge of the Queen) that was the city's name

And finally, some bridges were plainly weird! But they were interesting to walk on…

Picture was taken at dawn, with a mobile phone. Hope that explains the weird texture..

I hated descending all that for this tiny bridge, just to re-climb it all. Frustration!

Keep your balance, and they are playing music for you! Circus

So that’s pretty much the ones I found good looking, interesting or somehow funny. I know I might be considered weird for this, but does anyone have something for bridges as well? or any other object for that matter? and constantly find themselves taking pictures of it involuntarily?

I can swear I didn’t notice the tens of bridge pictures I was taking until I was back! But now I know my case! Am I alone in this?
