The topic of pilgrimage and, more precisely, that of Santiago de Compostela, has a symbolic value. The path, if taken by Christians, has also become a famous walk where walkers meet lovers of Roman art. The "camino frances", the trails of Way of St James was declared the first European Cultural Route by the Council of Europe in October 1987 and inscribed as one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites in 1993. The route is an European trail which unites across borders and languages. For this reason, this contest theme, which lasts until January 28th, inspired us to link the different fotocommunities.

Pilgrimages: share your photographs from a spiritual journey and from an internal experience on the trails of Saint Jacques or on other faith paths in Europe. Grab the moment between walk and visit of religious monuments, between solitary meditation and communal ritual.

These photos will be exhibited in the scope of the premier virtual exposition showcasing the five linguistic versions of fotocommunity.
In February 2007 part of these images will be taken with high quality support and exhibited at a tangible exposition in the salon Ecclesia de Cologne.
