Zapatones - The Pilgrim
.

(See it on DeviantArt)

A great looking pilgrim I met in front of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela (Galicia, Spain) at the very end of my 700 km walk. His name is Zapatones and he is a well known living monument in Santiago. The scallop shell on the man's hat has long been the symbol of the Camino de Santiago. It is often found on the shores in Galicia. Over the centuries the scallop shell has taken on mythical, metaphorical and practical meanings, even if its relevance may actually derive from the desire of pilgrims to take home a souvenir.

The Way of St. James has existed for over a thousand years. It was one of the most important Christian pilgrimages during medieval times, together with Rome and Jerusalem (read more). The above photo has been shot with the Samsung NX11, provided by Samsung Electronics. Co., Ltd.

A drag queen I met in a street of Florence, Italy, a few days ago.
He was really expressive and had giant "Queen cards" on his hat.

LOL, a quick sketch on my left hand (with ballpoint pen) and a photo with a soft flash in a mirror. I might develop the idea of drawing directly on the palm of my hand instead of using pieces of paper. That was a bit tricky because I had to make the drawing upside down...

Abandoned Cats

All these cats are homeless. They manage to survive thanks
to the kindness of some people feeding them
in the street when it's possible...
