In the Basque Country, there are animals almost everywhere; just free ranging, munching and pooping away. The Basque also seem to have a thing about bells, and all the animals have to wear them. It becomes quite obnoxious.

In contrast, there’s the forest. The GR10 has ridiculous climbs and descents, my knees are bothered. But what I get out of it is the forest at the bottom of the valleys. I love trees. I love how they look, the ecosystem they provide, the birds, the shade, and all the things one can make out of them. Maybe my birder friends can tell what these are.

The last two videos were taken on the knee-stressing descent to Lescun. More on that later.
