Batons vs Cajado, a photo from Braga, North

Photographer's Note

Trekking is a recent but very strong passion... this walk was amazing, we went through a small snow storm...
We went Fafi緌 in Ger瘰 (National Park)... you can find the full set of photos on http://fotos.sapo.pt/acaxinas/ultimas/
and the full description in our blog http://umpardebotas.blogs.sapo.pt/90812.html

About this photo: somebody just left there the "batons" and that wood stick called "cajado" in portuguese...

I liked the "scene" and shoot... it's the new and the old technology... the "batons" are very important to help on trekking, once you get used you will never abandon it

The "cajado" is well know for its multi-purpose application... can help you to walk, cross the rivers, defend you from wild animals (including humans), help conducting the cattle and so on.

Ora boas meu amigo Pedro

Pois: apesar de tudo ainda acho mais piada � "moca" � moda antiga, com o n� do raizeiro no final. Como os pastores. Mas confesso: nas minhas caminhadas prefiro andar de m緌s livres...

Boa foto e para a proxima tem cuidado que o Ger瘰 � matreiro com o frio e o nevoeiro! (que giro: at� rima!)

Abra誽o

Jorge Amorim
