You can of course post anything you want. I just left out all my arrows

It is a nice picture and I guess I have to go there and find out where it is by walking all the caminos

...back. I only got one pic on my camera roll of a shell on the ground: this one .
The photo was taken in the night.

I recognise a few of yours Bea but that's because I remember them from your blog. Don't remember where they were taken though.

Beatrice, Great photos. I also have photos of every shell marker I saw in the street or sidewalk from Le Puy en Velay to Finisterre and Muxia and from Montpellier to Puente la Reina. You have a few I didn't see. Too many to post them.
On another note, hats off to you for your thoughtful and relevant posts to this forum. Always pertinent and reasonable. Keep it up. Dayton and Karen. London, Canada

Hi,
It is really nice that you want to use them on you Pinterest Board but my pictures are copyrighted and should not be distributed without my permission or at least linked back to something that identifies me. If used on Pinterest I want them to link back to my album not this forum as I don't control this space and it does not identifies me as the photographer. The album is found at: https://plus.google.com/photos/+Béa...ms/5943648210816836433?authkey=COmOouLzq_PRfQ there you also will find way markers other than those posted above. I have invested a lot of money and time in my pictures and will at least have the credit for taking them.

I don't get that @BeatriceKarjalainen , because it seems to be the same marker, but it is different. Mine has no cross but there's a concha instead. And on the other hand the yellow arrow is the same. Was it ruined in past 3 years???

but your top seams more aligned with the rest. It might have been destroyed and they changed to this one?

It's definitely the same marker. Note the dot in the stone in the middle of letter S in "de Santiago". And another one above the "r" in "a supaso por"! Those are the same on both photos, no doubt. I think that the upper part must've been replaced in those 3 years. Interesting.
