This is my farewell video for Spain and memory of all the beauty I've discovered. I had there great time and the end of my holiday I walked from Atlantic to Mediterranean Sea through Pyrenees. The trail is called GR11.

These few simple shots are only a fracture of beautiful things I saw there.

As for technical things - I had a very big backpack to carry so everything was shot on a lightweight Sanyo Xacti HD1000 camera on a tiny tripod. I'm really happy with the quality.

    What a great clip this is, real cool shots! This is another proof of my enthousiasm and support for these little handy and handsome Xacti's. This is why we all are so happy with these babies! Congratulations Thomas. Please give some more settings info on 00:23. Did you do the creepy zooms in post? And what about this great pan at 6:16 did you bring a slider? Did you use 720 for this or 1080? What brand tiny tripod did you bring? Tell us more more thanks!!! Oh YES beautifull fingerwork of Ralph your relative?

    Wow! You did GR11! This is a really nice trail and a some days walking through the Pyrenees. I like to see you enjoyed my country and my loved places.

    Really nice shots. Have to be difficult to chose the best from that long walk.

    Just my cent: I would write "Euskadi" where you wrote "Pais Vasco", as that is the original (and official) Euskara name.

    Jan -> I'm glad you like it. All the zooms and pans are done in the post as digital zooms. Slider would be to heavy for my already heavy backpack. I used 720. The tripod was... dont even remember just an ordinary tiny tripod for 10 euros. Ralph is a composer and a friend of mine, he did music for my feature movie (You'll find in in my videos)

    Jordi -> Thanks, it was indeed a difficult choice what to film on the way, because to save batteries and move forward in the same time I did very little filming, but I've seen so many more beautiful things that I could easily film a lot more. I loved the time I spent in Espana and I hope I will come back there someday.

    Ralph's music and Tomas's images blend together to express profound nostalgia for what has been and what is yet to be. A true work of art!
