Post a photo(s) of "artistic" camino shells seen while walking

[Camino Chrissy]

Thought this might be interesting... Artistic doesn't have to mean perfect...just creatively made. Here are a few I've seen.

These on the way into Pamplona in 2006 caught my eye on my first Camino.

Then this broken shell at San Anton touched my heart.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Here's another favorite of mine...seriously!

Then there are these out of Samos - sorry, not a great photo, but I love the fencing

 

[Derrybiketours]

This one keeps following me around

Well, it's really special and so colorful...a one of a kind. I'm sure it was created by you from your own artistic gifting!

Fountain on the VDLP.



¡Buen Camino!

And this one on the Le Puy route. It's in the town with the twisted spire.

I remember that one!

I walked the Le Puy as far as Auvillar. Is your photo possibly from Conques?

On the Portuguese between Redondela and Pontevedra.

Everyone knows these...the scallop shell wine taps at Estella:


Many spanish towns on the Frances have some sort of artistic designed shells in the middle of the road or in roundabouts, e.g. Burgos, Leon and Astorga. This one is from Santo Domingo de la Calzada:


The baptismal font in Villafranca Montes de Oca:


In Agés, I got the breakfast butter in a shell:


That's it from Spain, maybe I have some more pictures from France, I'll have to do some research...

No, Saint-Côme d'Olt

This one is from A Coruña:



And this one I found in Mansilla de las Mulas:



And I bet most of you took this picture, too:

I took this today in Logroño. It's outside the door of the albergue.

 

[Joe Macky]

How about these meringues in a shop window in Bazas on the voie de Vezelay

 

[peregrina2000]

I can’t find the picture on my computer, but luckily I posted it here years ago!

It’s an old door latch in the village of Lubián on the Sanabrés.

[Derrybiketours]

I'm surprised no one has posted these little works of shart

 

[Derrybiketours]

It may not be exclusive too Albergue doors, I noticed it treading on the ground, like walking on scallop shells

 

[JennyH94]

At Patisserie El Buen Gusto in Santo Domingo de la Calzada everyone can find artistic and delicious scallop shell pastries ... here’s one which didn’t last very long!



Cheers from Oz -

A creative way of saying,...STAY OUT

Yes I did end up seeing them throughout Logroño. I still like the design though.

 

[Derrybiketours]

The interpretation of the brief in this thread has gone in a different direction so I give you..a camino sharden

 

[john newman]

In a quarry before Espalion, basalt crystals. I think I posted this somewhere else by mistake.

Nice choices! I remember the one in that corner in Santiago. My picture was taken in front of it.

It works!..nature's shell created on land.

Should I go this way or that way.

So here are Les Coquilles de France, first the ones before Le Puy:

Not really nice...: the owner who ran the Gite d'Etape where I stayed north of Dijon was a smoker:


Near the village Chaume at the Loire river, on the Camino from Cluny to Le Puy the way is marked with scallop shells:


In the restaurant "Halte des Pélérins" shells could be painted or signed, they were later used as decoration:


In the Gite d'Etape in Marols, I found this soap dish:


Entering the town of Montarcher:


And the other scallop shells after Le Puy. Here the candleholder at the entrance of the village of Saugues :


Before the church of Nasbinals:


Wooden sign between Espalion and Estaing:


Door in the Moissac cloister:


Wall painting in Auvillar:

Say 'cheese' and smile for the camera.....

The baptismal font in Villafranca Montes de Oca:

When we passed through Villa Montes de Oca, the church was being repaired and the shell was in the vestry. Nice to see it back where it belongs. We wanted to see the shell as it came from the Philippines, and we had lived there for a while.

Well, to be honest, I took my picture on ‎27th of ‎July ‎2011. It's more than 8 years old today ...

Me bringing these beautiful shells to the memory tree for Denise last year.
That was a very emotional time.

I liked this yellow arrow from, I think, Palas de Rei.

 

[Dara H]

I took this today in Logroño. It's outside the door of the albergue.

I like that. I got the same symbol as a stamp in Logroño.
