Camino picture / artwork for new apartment

Time of past OR future Camino
Too many to mention...
Hi folks
I'm making a move to a new apartment in a few weeks.
I've been looking for Camino artwork (of any kind) to have framed and hung on the main wall of the living room.
Of course, I'll have arrows and other memorabilia elsewhere in the apartment. I've even bought a shell-shaped toilet seat!!
Can you point me in any direction to websites who sell pictures?

Thanks!
 
Holoholo automatically captures your footpaths, places, photos, and journals.
Perfect memento/gift in a presentation box. Engraving available, 25 character max.
You could use Google's advanced image search tool to look for pictures of places on the camino where the pictures have permissions for people to use. Have the good ones printed.

The advanced image search tool is at http://www.google.com/advanced_image_search?hl=en&authuser=0

Here is what a search for Camino de Santiagogets you with a search for photos in any region with usage rights free to use or share: http://www.google.com/search?as_st=...s_sitesearch=&safe=images&tbs=itp:photo,sur:f

Add other terms to the search to get pictures of places you have been.
 
I have selected one of my own pictures and had it enlarged as a wallpaper. It shows a long straight gravel road, leading into the distance 10 km before Salamanca. Alongside the road there a large yellow coleseedfields.
When seeing this wall I get sometimes the impression that I could get out on the road again. (See picture)

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
I don't know if John Mattingly grants permission to use his images or sells prints, but you might take a look at his Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/CaminoArtbyJohnMattingly/ contact him through that venue. He has taken hundreds of images along the Camino Frances, and applies creative artistic filters during post-processing to give them a feeling of an impressionist painting.
 
Use Shutterfly to create your own pictures, any size, from your photo collection.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.

Where did you find shell-shaped toilet seat?
 
Also try the facebook page, Camino Art, Poetry & Music.
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc

I indeed know of John. I must ask if any of his prints are for sale. Thanks.
 

Wow..that looks amazing. I'd love that on my wall.
