An iconic camino image...the meseta

Here's an iconic image from the camino. This was taken just outside Fromista, one of the towns on the meseta, the high plateau that stretches across some of the middle stages of the trek. It drives some pilgrims nuts! Long and fairly flat, no mountains, few variations in the landscape, few trees to provide shade, and (as you see from this photo) fairly uniformly colored after the harvest. I, on the other hand, loved the vast, open, empty feel of the meseta (perhaps because I live in a densely crowded city, I enjoyed walking through its opposite).
