Selected photos that consider this issue’s theme, “Parting Gifts,” through the lens of contrast. Visual invitations to step over the threshold from our everyday into the foreign territory of pilgrimage. A stone monument offering gentle remembrance. Three Camino scenes distilled in black and white. An appreciation of the dappled patterns of light and shadow created by tree-filtered sunlight, an ephemeral phenomenon the Japanese call komorebi, captured in a moment along the Portugués coastal route.
