Camino Photo of the Day: the Quality of Light

Despite drinking at least two liters of water – and several Oranginas – I was suffering from heat exhaustion. I spent quite a while in the coolness of the Église Saint-Côme-et-Saint-Damien. In addition to a relief from the outside temperatures, there was just something about the quality of light in the church that was mesmerizing. Normally I’m not a fan of Modern, non-representational stained glass, but if you look past the windows themselves to what they did to the light in the building, they were quite beautiful.

Maps!

If you’re the sort who looks at the maps, you’ll note that the stage shown is 32+km long. I split this up into two days, since I wanted to spend some time exploring both Saint-Chély-d’Aubrac and Saint-Côme-d’Olt, both of which are on the list of most beautiful villages in France.
