Stumbling upon magical circles of life and ode to the Earth, on day 16 of El Camino, between Espinoza del Camino and Cardeñuela Riopico, Spain.
Inspired by the Dailypost page.
Enjoy the magic of the day!

MEET JULS
On an eco-friendly journey, every day more conscious of the consequences of my actions on the environment, I also avidly learn about any trick I can live by and share, to make the world a better, greener and safer place for everyone.
Currently based back in southern France for work, learning Japanese, discovering permaculture, I’m also planning my next getaway!
Les Petits Pas de Juls 
Small aliens not large enough to make circles in corn fields. 🙂 I read that in national parks, rangers don’t appreciate people make rock piles as it disrupts that natural placement of the rocks. I thought that was interesting and of course, I don’t know that they all feel that way. Happy weekend.

There were plenty of cairns along El Camino; I usually see them when trail markers are missing or when you don’t really know where to go, in order for hikers not to get lost.
I understand that it can disrupt the natural placement of rocks and is also against the Leave No Trace logic, as we’re supposed to pass throught without showing we were there… but, it always helps knowing where you’re supposed to go!
As it represents the circle of life and its neverending cycle… I have a tendency to enjoy seeing them.
Happy weekend to you too!
I understand and agree with both points of view. 🙂 I’d just never heard the arguments against the cairns and found them interesting.
True, it’s the first time I read about them too. Thanks for sharing!
