Find the way - way markers on the camino

[BeatriceKarjalainen]

With inspiration from the Doors-thread. Here are way markers (on the ground) in different towns. I start with mine from Camino Francés. I tried to stop and photograph all I could find.

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

Yes. If I say "Electric coil"...then it will be easier

...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.

Just in case one arrow is not enough...

Thank you for sharing, Bea. I have come to day 19 in your blog, and have seen all your beautiful pictures there. Uses your blog as preparation for my first tour

 

[Theatregal]

Really enjoying these photo threads. Thanks so much for this one Beatrice!

Here's some from the Primitivo.

 

[Theatregal]

And some others from the Frances…

 

[Susannafromsweden]

This one is from the Salvador, a bit dark maybe (and the first one I posted was from the Salvador, too)

Thank you for these. I have been collecting photos of Camino Markings and Waypost on a Pinterest Board and have added these to them.

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.

Just curious. Do you credit the source and photographer of the photos that you post on Pinterest?

[KinkyOne]

All really beautiful, especially the one in Zariquiegui.

 

[Theatregal]

Looking through, I'm amazed at how many photos I took of way marks!

I had to make some decisions also

 

[BeatriceKarjalainen]

My own favourite from the meseta. (I have about 20 more images of markers, arrows, border stones etc )

 

[KinkyOne]

Beautiful picture, @BeatriceKarjalainen !!!
I'll post more of mine simply because I like to watch others photos and so reviving my own Camino. Hope I'm offering the same.

Yes you do. Nice pictures. Have the same of the leaving Palencia but you pic is much better.

 

[KinkyOne]

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???

My pictures is from August 2013. Maybe they found the top part and put it back on?

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

 

[KinkyOne]

@BeatriceKarjalainen
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.

 

[pilgrim b]

That is interesting KinkyOne well spotted definitely the same one but different if you know what I mean! Will try and send a few of mine tomorrow too late now today.

 

[BeatriceKarjalainen]

Here are some more from CF:

1. Just before Roland's fountain
2. Entering Spain
3. Sometimes way markers are negative
4. 8 km before Roncevalles
5. 3.6 km before Roncevalles
6. Navarette
7. Santo Domingo de Calzada
8. Sahagún
9. Between Calzada de Coto and Calzadilla de los Hermanillos
