Camino Photo of the Day: the Ragged Pilgrim

Just beyond the Église Saint-Pierre de Bessuéjouls, I came upon this ragged pilgrim. There are any number of statues and pieces of art along the various Camino routes. Many depict a pilgrim in traditional medieval pilgrim garb. Of course, this is identical to how Saint James is often depicted, so there is inevitably some confusion. This particular pilgrim is made of metal, and he’s more of a shell than a man.
