Mural "Handshake" by British artist Pref at Rue Paradis 68 in Liège, Belgium
The idea proposed by Pref is based on the phrase "shake hands" in a woven style.
This phrase is mainly about collaboration. Every collaboration begins and ends with a handshake. Shaking hands is also a gesture of friendship and welcome.

Climbing higher on Morrone we have a marker cairn clearly marking our way (despite a clear footpath) but looks great against the Cairngorms rising in the distance and still capped with snow.
Late afternoon over the Bighorn Basin on the western slope of the Bighorn Mountains, one of many views one has when driving up old US 14-A to the upper and lower Five Springs Falls campgrounds. I had spent the night in Lovell, explored Bighorn Canyon for a while, then came here to shoot at Five Springs Falls. This is mostly just a "snapshot" and not what I'd consider a true "landscape", for there are the manmade roads in the scene and it's still rather harsh lighting but I thought I'd share it all the same, for maybe it will assist someone in the future if traveling in the region. This also gave me a chance to experiment further with the Nisi graduated ND filters I added to my collection prior to this trip, very helpful indeed. (Note: Until Google Maps accepts the edit I made to Old US 14A, it still shows that the road connects to Forest Service Road #541. In reality, the road ends at a gate just around the curve from the upper campground and can only be hiked beyond that point.)
The old US 14-A was a hair-raising drive at best (there is a historical sign/marker at the junction with the present-day US 14-A), though the present-day US 14-A is still quite the drive, as well. Old 14-A is visible at the lower left, while US 14-A extends from the lower right to curve around the south side of Five Springs Point to climb up the shoulder of Medicine Mountain. The highway climbs 3600 feet in the distance of ten miles with 10% grades. There are three runaway truck ramps on this downgrade, one of which is directly atop Five Springs point on the left, another of which is further down the other side of the point. Imagine trying that in the winter? lol It is obvious why this highway is closed from down in the Bighorn Basin up to Burgess Junction in the winter, eh? I've driven trucks off and on ever since 1993 and, as much as I hate to admit it, I overheated the brakes on my personal vehicle a decade ago making the descent on the eastern side of the Bighorns on the long grade that drops into Dayton. Use a lower gear, for I stopped to let brakes cool off after I felt the rotors begin to warp (amazingly, they were not permanently damaged).
A marker of the General Post Office (as the UK postal service was called until 1969) to mark the presence of an underground cable.
You aren't supposed to bring your boat between this marker and the shore. Because of the severe drought, the marker is on the shore!
Markers along several trails traversing the Albany County Pine Bush Preserve, a large area set of protected land set aside to preserve a unique environment in upstate New York.
The channel marker
This one is what attracted me to the structure in the first place, the extent of the rust showing how high the tide reaches & the rather splendid clouds of course

There are times like late afternoon today, when I am so happy I live beside the sea. The colours of the water and the setting sun were wonderful.
Gulf of Mexico in Florida seems very shallow in place. Here in Hudson these markers show the way to deeper waters.
I played a lot with this photo in post. Hopefully not to much.
Many years ago, the Pearl River flowed here. The river changed course. A shallow area was created by the deposition of sediments as the river retreated. During periodic low water, seedlings of water-tolerant cypress and tupelo trees gained a foothold. The trees you see today are a result.
Water tupelo and bald cypress trees can live in deep water for long periods. After taking root in the summer when the swamp is dry, the seedlings can stay alive in water deep enough to kill other plants.
The trail at this location leads through an abandoned river channel. As the channel fills with silt and vegetation, black willow, sycamore, red maple, and other trees will gradually replace the bald cypress and water tupelo. Also if you look closely you may see juvenile alligators sunning themselves on floating logs and other vegetation.
This location is also a trailhead for the Yockanookany Section of the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail. This trailhead is located directly across the paved Parkway from the Cypress Swamp site. Hikers may hike south 14.1 miles to the West Florida Boundary, north 8.9 miles to the Yockanookany Trailhead, or any distance they chose on this out and back trail.

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

Elliptical marker. This image was taken while I was sitting in my car. It was raining. The rainwater on the car window created some intriguing visual distortions that were augmented by the DOF seen by the optics of the camera, and the selective framing of the zoom.
A marker shows the spot of an unsuccessful exploratory oil well drilled on the Shoshone Anticline north of Cody Wyoming. The marker on this dryhole reads:
Husky Oil Co Eagle #1
NW 1/4, NW 1/4, sec. 6
T53N R101W
Lease # 069946

There is no surface expression of the anticlinal structure in this photo as the shales that are exposed at the crest are covered with gravels and soils along the Idaho Creek Drainage. The result is flat terrain covered with sage brush. Cody Wyoming and The Horse Center Anticline can be sEen in the far distance but barely. In the 1960s Cody was the corporate headquarters of Husky Oil.
Many of the rust markers on the sign are from dents or bullet holes made by shooters who used the marker for target practice.
