Funniest Camino Picture

[DowtyCamino]

There have been several "Favorite Picture" posts. Just curious....what's your "funniest" picture.
My entry is this shot in Burgos. It was supposed to be of my wife and I goofing off with an ice cream. However the background was ....um....unintended.

Unfortunate Burgos

Because the wall was easier to modify?????

 

[Kanga]

@DowtyCamino because the road was indeed so narrow that the sign had to be fitted into the wall to make enough room for cars. I think it was between two walls.

How I felt after 40km from Arzua to Monte do Gozo, aiming to cover the last 5km to Santiago...

I laughed that even the store sign on the upper left is announcing what is below.

I know dogs can't read, but you'd think they could at least understand the icon

 

[Theatregal]

No missing these

Not only can translating something be difficult but translating the translation can be too.

A sign on the Camino Frances where it descends to Molinaseca:



I would translate the Spanish sign to an American sign as:

Attention cyclists
Steep slopes next 10 miles
Proceed with caution

 

[DowtyCamino]

No missing these

That reminds me of similar spot just west of Leon where the Frances divided. There were competing Camino comments and arrows x'd out and repainted warning you to avoid one route or the other...all painted on the road.

 

[Anamya]

Omg, keep posting, those are too funny! XD

 

[Kanga]

This one is in Santiago. Ouch!

Yes , slightly different spelling but phonetically comes out the same!!

I saw a lot of traffic signs that were pretty funny but I think this one of me is the funniest photo I took.

This was on the Portugese Camino about 4 days out of Porto. We laughed and laughed at the weird randomness of this.

Obviously the Camino is shorter if you speak English:


I guess anybody can call me that when I'm walking Levante in July:

Well we thought it was pretty random to have a doll stuck in a tree, seeing how it was the only one we saw, let alone the clown wired to its' arm.

 

[Csutak]

Strange! I saw similar dolls in Gallicia, tied up to a tree. I thought they were used against naughty birds, but maybe I'm mistaken?

Forgive my weird sense of humour. I thought it was someone with their own take on some of the little grottos that you can come across... and I would have laughed too, such a focussed expression on the doll’s face!

That made me laugh really hard

 

[Jeff Crawley]

I agree - look at the dodgy "bond" of the blockwork - it's been fudged around the sign.

Looks like the same doll on 19 May 2017, just North of Esposende.
But looks like a different tree??

From my 2016 Caminos...

I just had to take a photo of this guy on Praza do Obradoiro. He came in sweated Che Guevara T-shirt and then he changed into a T-shirt with Pope on it. Imagine...



Those two were taken on Camino Ingles. If you have any explanation please feel free to respond

I got the giggles when I read this sign in our albergue room.

No need to wash the sheets.

This was taken before reaching Samos last Oct. I was very interested in encountering the dangerous beasties!

Sorry, I didn’t see the sign!

Taken last week in a gite bathroom on the Le Puy route...look closely.

I've looked closely but I already know how to wear a cap the proper way.

Oh, you are terrible!! My son posed like that after he piled some mud on a rock near a lake. To use @Anniesantiago's expression, I almost knocked him into tomorrow.

Ha, even I didn't catch that!

 

[Marina Zd]

In the first days of my first Camino, when I didn't have any previous experience how to pack my sleeping bag. There were different creations on a daily basis, this was one of them.

 

[Icacos]

Is it just me, or is this thread deteriorating?!

Sorry about the blurry image - no fancycam but just an elderly iPhone...

I really loved these signs. The upper one is sort of funny ('keep your shoes on'), but the lower one is priceless: 'we don't have wifi; talk to eachother'. Such great advice... It may not really come as a surprise the photo was taken somewhere along the last stretch of the Camino Francés (which, by the way, I enjoyed thouroughly - even after the relative peace and quiet on the considerably less crowded Camino del Norte and the complete serenity of the practically deserted roads leading me to St. Jean Pied-de-Port - as if doing three different caminos in one go; four if you count Santiago-Finisterra. Ah, memories...).

I loved the self service donkey stamp!

That's funny, but HAMBURGUEIROS wouldn' be "people who mostly eat hamburgers" because this is HAMBURGUESEIROS.

HAMBURGUEIROS means "people from Hamburg".
