Pics interesting for some odd reason :)

[KinkyOne]

Hi there,

A few days ago I went through my pictures taken on CF for another thread and thought that might start another one. I found that some of my pics have some wit within them or that they are somewhat funny (I don't want to get pretentious on that though ), some with kind of understatement etc. So you are kindly invited to contribute yours. They doesn't have to be top quality, they can depict places, structures, moments of pilgrims reactions or whatever that makes them interesting, but I'm don't looking for "beautiful" pics of flowers, panoramic views, clouds etc.
Today I'll post only one (have approx. dozen more) and wait for some of yours. Have fun!

First one was shot on leaving Hontanas. The question is would you place this kind of statue for watering your front lawn?

 

[newfydog]

No, I would prefer one like this:

@newfydog

For watering the lawn???

My reward, for my journey, a "BIG," ice cream cone!

Love these pictures, what a great thread!


I don't know where you're going to put the parking ticket!

Where's the bloomin' bridge gone!











A lonely outpost in deepest Devon...

 

[KinkyOne]

Ahahaha, love those @hecate105
I'm sorry that 2nd and 3rd are sooooooooo downsized...

... no, I got it, they're doubled

Thanks!

[KinkyOne]

Another one.

Where are all those football (soccer) players? At the cemetery in the back perhaps???

 

[KinkyOne]

When the neighboring house was demolished someone forgot the key of the window shutters on the wrong side. Or is it on the right one???

European Basketball Championship ended on Sunday in Slovenia. Next year there will be World Basketball Championship in Spain! But... I guess it'll take a lot of work to get this particular basketball court in order

 

[KinkyOne]

Who's face is there on the right-side tower of Castillo de los Templarios?

 

[KinkyOne]

Boar among flowers "enjoying" the view

 

[KinkyOne]

This one was taken in my private room in SdC. Could be titled as "Insight" maybe...

 

[Sheffield James]

I smiled when I saw this postcard one morning in a cafe between Estella and Los Arcos. Did it mean us, I wondered?

Great thread , great pictures, all of which paint at least a thousand words .

 

[KinkyOne]

Thank you very much, @stevenjarvis !
I like to see something more than there might be

This one is already CF icon:

 

[Theatregal]

Ugliest dog in the world in Oviedo. And yes…it was alive.

 

[Theatregal]

Big hat. Tiny pilgrim.

 

[stevenjarvis]

Someone, somewhere on the forum, that is, a member, has a blog, somewhere, out there, in the ether.
On that blog, there are photographs of fascinating stone carvings on churches in either France or Spain, possibly both, featuring extraordinary renderings of male figures. May have been some sort of fertility symbolism.
That's narrowed it down ........ *racks brains trying to remember*

 

[stevenjarvis]

which way is it facing .....

 

[Theatregal]

which way is it facing .....

Wasn't sure at first. Then…proof of life when it struggled to it's feet and moved on up the street. Still not sure if it was even a dog….

 

[Alena]

I think he needs a bigger house

 

[KinkyOne]

These pilgrims don't need the house, they're happy as such

 

[Theatregal]

Thought I was just taking a photo of some stone steps and it wasn't till after I downloaded my photos, that I saw the little face in this one.

 

[KinkyOne]

Thanks @Lise T , although "kitten on the stairs" isn't mine , but can offer similar one with puppies. There were 5 of them but took sooo long to take my camera out only 2 are clearly visible. I still remember their cacophonic barking at by-passers. It was shot a few meters down the street from Felisa's stand before Logrono.

 

[freescot]

Not particulary interesting, but I smiled. On the Camino Portuguese, just before Gaia. The electricity pole on the right has a yellow arrow, just.

 

[KinkyOne]

Indeed it's a "stop spot"

Wonderful photo! Yes…I agree with Lise T. Great thread you started, KinkyOne!

 

[Theatregal]

Awwwww soooo cute!

And..I apologize to Theatregal....I should have acknowledge that it was your photo of the cat more clearly.

I do hope people keep posting interesting photos.. im loving them.

No worries Lise T! Happy you like the photo!

Hillarious when thinking of what REALLY is behind that door. So many possibilities, hahaha.

But I really can not remember it. Guess I was somewhere else with my thoughts

 

[freescot]

Maybe I just have an unusual sense of humour but I feel the instructions for the entrances should be the other way round. One in Ruitelan and the other on my camino in England.

 

[KinkyOne]

@freescot , very funny or should I say "kinky"

Thanks for posting!!!

Camino Portugues 2013

Camino Portuguese 2010, just before Oporto. It was the 2nd October and I strolling the Camino leisurely and alone enjoying this sort of unexpected pleasure, unaware that ahead was a tidal wave of Spanish pilgrims preparing to join me on the last 100km to arrive in Santiago on Oct. 12th, the Spanish National Festival (de Pilar), and a Jacobean Year at that.

 

[KinkyOne]

Here's another one on the topic of "backside"s:

 

[SabsP]

And this lonely doggie somewhere in Carrion de los Condes...

 

[Theatregal]

Pulpo hands in Melide

 

[KinkyOne]

I guess in that moment the pulpo's mixed emotions was similar as mine when seeing this when leaving Santiago de Compostela for Negreira :

 

[KinkyOne]

It's a cold, rainy, gloomy day here so I decided to light and warm it up a bit

 

[Theatregal]

Mirror in a little shop just after Grandas de Salime.

Somehow connected - sleeping beauty (injured peregrina from France, an architect, "serving" as a hospitalera) in San Anton before Castrojeriz):

This one I like a lot:

Exquisite!

Nothing like a good ole' game of foosball under a medieval bridge!

 

[Magwood]

We met this guy in a village between Santiago and Negreira. He was a bit shy and didn't want to pose for me. His owner made the frame for him after a road accident put his hind legs out of action.

Wow! The picture itself, of course. And also "foosball" (German: fussbal!!!) We call it "calcio" (from Italian) and I like it a lot although I'm not very good at it. Great picture again!!!

 

[KinkyOne]

Another entering of new into old:

 

[KinkyOne]

Nice memories. And approaching the end...

 

[freescot]

This one is of a firm of accountants, seen on the outskirts of Valencia, the name is fitting for this Province of Spain where over 100 politicians and administrators are currently being charged for corruption:

This quirky elevator in the middle of nowhere after Hontanas...

I reckon it's a wheelchair-friendly loo with a view!!

 

[KinkyOne]

Told you, it's the end

 

[KinkyOne]

For now

 

[SabsP]

Bar in Hontanas..Covering all bases...

On a rest day in Leon, I walked around the city and came across this sign. I had to laugh out loud when I spotted it.
