And...wearing your packs w/rain covers!!! Yes you are in Santiago!! Should put that photo on your invites!! Attention Getter!

Hi Karin,

Great idea! We actually got engaged just outside of Viana, while completing the Camino last April so I am hoping to have a Camino/Spanish theme at the wedding next April...

Buen Camino,

Kelly y Jason

 

[Robogow]

BUEN CAMINO TO ALL OF YOU !

[Jacobus]

Thanks to the very clear instructions...here I am! I think everyone will recognize that this is taken overlooking the route at the top of alto del perdon. August 2008.

my camino ooops! not meant to turn out like that , back to the drawing board ...

 

[crackmrmac]

I think everyone will recognize that this is taken overlooking the route at the top of alto del perdon. August 2008.

Hi James/Jacobus, I like the way you put your right foot forward on top of that hill & all the windmills blowing.............the one you shave the hairs off....travelling light, but saving the razor by not doing the other leg & all that jazz. Don't take any offence by my thoughts, I've just been made a veteran poster on Ivar's site, so I'm real giddy

 

[crackmrmac]

Stevie,
There are post on forum on how to upload & share pictures.
By the way, what are you looking at?



Edit.....that should be posts.......for all those English teachers out there!

It would be so nice to put faces to the wonderful people who contribute to this site and encourage us all.

Thanks Clarissa.

Hi,
I'm Marjorie and i'm a newbie on this site! I speak french, i'm from Québec, Canada, please be indulgent about the mistakes that i'll do on further posts. :lol:
Thank you,
(I love reading all your posts, it's very helpful.)
Marjorie

 

[ksam]

Marjorie, welcome aboard! Your entries are delightful to read & your english is perfect! Wish the same could be said of my abilities! Hope you enjoy your time here on the forum, it helped us immensely when planning our first two years ago. Hope you can get your mother to join you. Remember...it is just walking. A little further than usual, but it is manageable. And perhaps if your etapas are shorter than 20km? Or she may surprise you!

Wishing you Buen Camino, Karin :arrow:

HI everyone,
I haven't looked at this topic for several months but it's really great to see all your happy faces. I think my sidebar picture (somewhere on a mountain in Spain) is as good as the one I'm going to try to post here (leaning on the signpost which says 100 km left to go!!)
Cecelia



yay!! It worked. Okay that was easy enough to make me feel dopey for not getting it earlier. But the key may have been making it really small. Thanks for the hints.

 

[atlanticheart]

Hi all,

Since I've now walked at least a portion of the Camino Frances, I felt I could add my photo here. I took this outside of Puente la Reina, after the first steep climb of the day.

I actually took it just to make sure I didn't look like I was about to faint or die, both of which I felt like after that bloody climb.
I did feel quite out of shape when people more than twice my age, carrying more than twice of what I did, seemed to practically run up the hill, with the greatest of ease. Ah well, I always knew I wasn't very fit...

Hilda

 

[ksam]

But Hilda...you DID it!! And I'm delighted to finally have a face in mind when I look at your beautiful pictures!! And you don't look like your about to faint! Just a little flushed..like you'd just climbed a steep long hill! Buen Camino, Karin

 

[crackmrmac]

And I'm delighted to finally have a face in mind

Yes Karin, and we also have your smiley face in your "avatar"

Buen Camino

[Telluridewalker]

I'm at my dad's house (for a family funeral) and was finally able to lay my hands on a photo of me on the Camino. :mrgreen: No beard anymore, alas. This was in O Cebreiro.

Me in the morning at Ventosa's albergue ( with the stiff dry hairdo )

We call that "bed head" here. Looks good to me! Any day I wake up and see the sun or smell the roses is a great morning!

Buen Camino to all...

Arn

 

[beiramar]

This is me, like three weeks ago, on the Caminho:

 

[Arn]

Bieramar...

A great addition to the member pics.

I'd like to see folks take a pic on the day they strike out on Camino and then the very moment they arrive at the Cathedral. May be an interesting juxtaposition.

I know that my barber is capable of taking ten years off of me in one sitting.

Does the Camino have an effect on the outer person as well as the inner?

Just wondering.

Arn

 

[Deleted member 3000]

The barber was the first stop for two British gentlemen I met in September. One even got a barber shave! They said it made them feel more civilized. I settled for my fifty cent razor.

 

[ksam]

Bieramar...

Does the Camino have an effect on the outer person as well as the inner?

Arn

Yeah....I thinks so..losing around 15 pounds between SJPP & SdC...yeah...that and being ill, yet so incredibly happy I coulda bust!! Some people even commented when they saw me back home, that I looked or held myself differently. Dunno bout that but I'll take their word on it!

 

[WayWalker63]

This is me a couple months ago and 12lbs heavier. Working on getting down to Camino weight and fitness.
Love seeing the pics of all of you.

 

[picosrider]

Found this thread today, have always wondered how to a put a photo into a posting, so this is an experiment.
Me outside the Cathedral at Santiago in 2005, or perhaps not if the photo does not upload!

From my first camino in 2008. .In september I will come for nr. 4...starting from SJPDP...can't wait. ..

 

[KinkyOne]

Decided to make my contribution in this topic. Because I was walking alone most of the time I have only a few self-portraits (e.g shadows on the road or a mirror photo ) and this one posted here. On Praza do Obradoiro I found someone to take a photo of me about 2 minutes after arriving there. I found myself looking like I'm on something, but weren't feeling like that at all at the moment as I remember now.

So true... A nice place to start. We'll all be 'seen' on the Camino. Or I hope I will be anyhow

Profile updated!

Hi friends...that's me just getting into Galicia a few weeks ago. Finished my Camino at 29.8.2013 at 8.30 PM in Santiago. Still excited and just can' t wait to do it again

This is in Lleida - after I'd been in the sun several days, but before I lost the 20 pounds I was going to lose between Montserrat and Fnisterre.

A Buen Camino to all from DeMar

 

[tina lyndon]

I walked the Camino for the first time this year and it was a transforming experience. A highlight was the kindness of people, especially the Spanish people who look after the Camino's. I also liked the landscapes and pilgrim masses, the places I stayed - many were new and very clean and I enjoyed the foo. I'll never forget the joy I felt when I reached Santiago and my companion, a young woman from Toledo who shared the joy of entering Santiago.

The bar's along the way were great, like the one run by the Last Templar and the cowboy bar and families who offered hot soup on days when it was raining. I hope we always have them

Dear Peregrinos,

I did the Camino Frances in July 2014. As a near pro- photographer I took my DSLR camera with me on the Camino.

The photos I have made are available for FREE download (for Personal use only) from my website:

www.greatphotos.eu/Camino.

You will find two series here. The first is sorted by theme (eg churches, the way, arrows etc), the second one is following the Camino Frances sorted from Saint Jean Pied de Port to Santiago de Compostella. By the end of August 2014 you will find a complete series here.

The password to gain acces is:

buencamino (no spaces, all lower case).

Please feel free to forward this message to other pelgrims.

Buen Camino

Me in SdC last May. I didn't walk. I was visiting friends in Coruna and took a day trip to Santiago. This year I'll walk Leon to SdC. I have time restraints. I have to be in Valencia August 19 for a birthday party.
In the future I hope to do many longer walks

Hey, fellow Forum folks...time to fill in some more photos. The challenge is 100 new photos by April 15.

OK ...here's one of me behind a curtain in Ponte de Lima on Camino Portuguese

 

[trecile]

I like to see the member's pictures, and it's also helpful when people fill in their location - at least their country, as it often helps in answering questions.

 

[KinkyOne]

Until the last change of Forum graphics there was an option to fill in your location and it was shown under your avatar photo but that feature is gone now. Although many non-native English speakers on this Forum can use English pretty well I think location info would help native speakers in responses like you suggested.

If you click on a user's name their location shows up if they have entered it. But I agree that it was better when it appeared right under the user's avatar.

I find members' location of country residence is often not shown. Unsure if it's their personal choice or if Ivar's changes eliminated the option to add it in.

 

[KinkyOne]

It is and was personal choice whether you fill it in or not just that now it isn't visible under avatar photo.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

It is and was personal choice whether you fill it in or not just that now it isn't visible under avatar photo.

I have also tried clicking on their name, which brings up more choices. One choice is 'about', but often I can't find the country listed anyway. Maybe people are becoming more paranoid about revealing info. If you don't reveal your full name though, I don't see what harm in showing the country you live in.

 

[Waka]

Well as reluctant as I am I'll post a picture of Waka, sat on a beach in the UK summer of 2019.

 

[KinkyOne]

Are you sure that photo was taken in 2019?

 

[Waka]

When I hover my cursor over a member name a box appears with additional information. On my phone I have to tap on the member name.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

@trecile, yes on my Android I DO hover and click on the members' name, but often there is still no country listed. Your example of me is because I gave all the information requested when I signed up! ☺

Yes, that's why I said that it's helpful when members fill out that information. It makes it easier to help them.
