Landscapes from the Camino de Santiago

Hiking every day for a month across Spain gave me the opportunity to see the landscape slowly change from mountains to vineyards to lush forests. For the full series check out my website: http://www.markteiwes.com/camino_de_santiago_landscapes

I´m currently walking the Way to Santiago, 500 miles across northern Spain.
Sometime in December I will post a photo series from the trip.  For now my wife and I are putting up photos on our blog....  markbecky4.blogspot.com

Sometimes I get to go on assignments that really celebrate a person's life and community. Gene Murray is retiring after teaching for almost 50 years.

We had a spring poetry contest at the Salem News, and I produced videos of the finalists.


For the grand prize winner, I got a little poetic myself with the video.
