Hiking the Grand Mesa of Colorado, I came across, what I think might be a "Tree Trail Marker" designed by Native Americans (most likely Ute Indians). It was a common practice back in the day to form trees so they would standout as markers for trails, water, danger,etc.
Hope you enjoy an early Fall time view!

The Marker Wadden is an artificial archipelago under development in the Markermeer, a lake in the Netherlands. The first island was inaugurated on 24 September 2016.[1] It is a nature reserve alternative to the much bigger proposed Markerwaard polder that was begun in 1941 but paused and finally abandoned in 2003.

This rendering was done with Prismacolor markers and some colored pencils. This one took a lot less time than my colored pencil renderings. The chair is from anthropologie.com.

The coloured balls on overhead electricity cables act as visual warnings for low flying aircraft. They are most often used when cables cross major highways or deep gullies or valleys. To aid visibility, the colours are chosen to provide the greatest possible contrast with the background terrain. Where more than one cable is strung between the pylons, the coloured balls are mounted on the highest. www.sciencefocus.com/qa/what-are-coloured-balls-are-attac...

Boundary markers in the City of London, for the old parishes of St James Garlickhythe and Holy Trinity the Less (whose church once occupied the site of Mansion House tube station).
2 from a series of 4 i still have to upload the rest of. also from the "home studies flunkies" group show.
I am not sure if these aisle markers date back to Kroger or not...
I asked someone who lives in the Pittsburgh area if there were any stores in the Pittsburgh area that still had an intact or partially intact Kroger interior. I wasn't really expecting much to come from asking that (Kroger has been gone from Pennsylvania since the mid 1980s), but they pointed out this Kuhn's Foods store in Moon Township, PA.
I had saw this store when I was in Moon Township before, but didn't go inside since the greenhouse style entrance on the front was altered and figured the interior had probably been updated several times since Kroger left. The next time I was in the Pittsburgh Area, I decided to stop into this store to see if it was really a Kroger time capsule on the inside. Upon walking in, the decor struck me as being too upkept and a bit too modern to have been from Kroger. I was expecting to see the Bauhaus type interior inside the store. I was a little disappointed, but did notice a couple neon signs (floral and bakery) that appeared to be older than the rest of the interior and thought maybe those were from Kroger. I wanted to verify if those signs were from Kroger. First I took to googling old Kroger interiors to no avail. Then, I took to showing these pictures to a group of people very familiar with Kroger interiors.
Something I wasn't expecting happened; it turned out that the ENTIRE store interior does date back to the store's Kroger days. They identified the interior as being from the early to mid 1980s. That means this store had the newest Kroger store design and interior when it was closed on January 15, 1984 due to a union strike. I couldn't find any mention of when this store was opened as Kroger, but judging by the interior design, it was only open for a year or two maximum. The Bauhaus design was also used in the early 1980s. Kroger did have a presence in the Pittsburgh market since 1928, so a smaller store from nearby likely moved here.
*Apparently, this look still survives in another store as well. That other store was an older Kroger that must have received this remodel right before closing. I hope to visit the other store soon.
When Kroger pulled out of Pittsburgh they sold their stores off to Wetterau Inc. (A food distributor that later was acquired by SuperValu), which then sold the stores off to independent operators. After Kroger, this store became a Shop 'n Save and is now Kuhn's Quality Foods.
This Kuhn's store seemed nice. It was well maintained, clean, and had friendly staff when I visited. I hope this store doesn't get caught up in the grocery industry shake-up that seems to be going on. A Walmart also had recently opened across the street from this store when I visited it.

Trail trees, trail marker trees, crooked trees, prayer trees, thong trees, or culturally modified trees are hardwood trees throughout North America that Native Americans intentionally shaped with distinctive characteristics that convey that the tree was shaped by human activity rather than deformed by nature or disease.[1] A massive network of constructed pre-Columbian roads and trails has been well documented across the Americas, and in many places remnants can still be found of trails used by hunters and gatherers. One unique characteristic of the trail marker tree is a horizontal bend several feet off the ground, which makes it visible at greater distances, even in snow. Even today, modern hunters look for horizontal shapes while hunting deer, elk, and moose.
Stones have a special significance to the Jewish faith. These stones were left on a gravestone in the Jewish Cemetery in Prague

The red and black and white day markers at Gwennap head. A bit more info on this from wikipedia - There are a pair of cone-shaped navigation markers on Gwennap Head, in line with the Runnelstone buoy. These are day markers warning vessels of the hazard of the Runnel Stone. The cone to the seaward side is painted red and the inland one is black and white. When at sea the black and white one should always be kept in sight in order to avoid the submerged rocks nearer the shore. If the black and white cone is completely obscured by the red cone then the vessel would be directly on top of the Runnel Stone.

On the marker is a postcard view of The Presidential. One of the grand Borscht Belt hotels of Swan Lake. It is gone now, it was on a hill behind the photographer overlooking the lake. The land is now occupied by a housing development.
