Hi Peter. Knew we could trust you to start such a positive thread!
I share this picture of the entrance stone of the Sint Jacobus church in St-Truiden, my town of birth and where I now work.
Stone made possible by the local Confraternity of St James , the local parish and the council.
In the link also pic of a wooden statue of St James. In 1215 there were already pilgrims stopping at this church en route to Santiago.

Not my home town, but close to where I used to live in the Czech Republic, the picture was taken in Pelhrimov and the blog post (sorry, in German, can be read here: http://www.caminosantiago.eu/pelhrimov-jakobsweg/)
As for my current home town ... You all know it ;-)

I am both lucky and unlucky to be surounded by shells and arrows. The Camino Vezeley passes near our home... there are a few local varients so I find arrows and markers all around me. I'm lucky because it means I can walk on the camino whenever I want... and unlucky because it is a constant reminder... and very often I wish I could just go and walk and walk and walk 
Here are 2 photos I took last year a few days before leaving for the VdlP... I met friends in a restaurant in Perigueux and followed these shells into the old town from my car parking space. The following day I was at a wedding in St Astier; the venue falls almost on the camino path... inside the main room was a huge coat of arms painted on the wall. I could almost feel the camino pulling me back... the following day we left for Bordeaux for my flight to Seville.
