Which way to go? One of many signposts at Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens. It's in this locale that Curlews like to hang out. In the background, to right of frame, are the very interesting fruit, vegetable and herb gardens.
I had to smile this morning when i noticed this signpost saying No alcohol on Beach.....
but it looks like it has had too much to drink already..leaning over to the side like that....
I got a bit lost trying to get back to the Clifton Suspension Bridge and luckily came across this signpost.
Not a scarecrow, but an artistic sign pointing to the Childwickbury Arts and Christmas Market in Hertfordshire. Fuji X-E2.
The famous "Sign Post Forest" in Watson Lake, Yukon, is described by yukoninfo.com as follows:
Travelers from around the world have been bringing signposts from their hometowns to the Sign Post Forest since 1942 and continue to do so today.
The tradition began during the Alaska Highway Project in 1942, when U.S. soldier Carl K. Lindley spent time in Watson Lake recovering from an injury. A commanding officer asked him to repair and erect the directional signposts, and while completing the job, he added a sign that indicated the direction and mileage to his hometown of Danville, Illinois. Others followed suit, and the trend caught on. In 1990, a couple from Ohio added the 10,000th sign in the Signpost Forest. Today, there are over 77,000 signs in the Forest, and the number grows each year as visitors contribute signs and continue the tradition.
Taken on the top of the moors whilst out on a Peak District ramble! Liked the sunlight on the "Shining Tor" bit!!
Used Nik Silver Efex Pro for the black and white conversion which is great a bringing out the detail.
Skies are getting bluer than a mountain lake now. You just can't hope for more! This signpost is located at the 3fork on Yarisawa Valley, one directing you to Tenguhara (aka Glacier Park) and another to Mt Yari, (whose gorgeous shape is often compared to Matterhorn on the tongues of avid alps fans). There's no alternative to not making left here to Tenguhara. Yes, it has still been on my bucket list, Last time I came around, due to terrible weather, I couldn't make it to Tenguhara, neither was I able to make my way to Mt Minami. Both are a must-go place for a guy like myself.
Die Villa Zick Zack ist eine eingeschossige, schlossartige Anlage (Lustschlösschen) in Bad Bergzabern, das im Kern aus dem 17. Jahrhundert stammt und wiederholt, insbesondere 1910, umgebaut und renoviert wurde.
It has been owned by the National Trust since 1994. With views across to Yr Eifl and Snowdonia, Porthdinllaen, with Nefyn and Morfa Nefyn, form a magnificent two miles , [3.2 km ] of sweepinbg bay.
There are only about two dozen buildings in Porthdinllaen, with the Ty Coch pub in the centre of the village.
My walls are closing in
Days go by
Give me a sign
The sun is dropping quickly on the upper reaches of the Eden Valley as 70806 leads 3J11, the North West RHTT passing Duncowfold on Wed 19th November 2025.
this is the route we take when we are doing a serious supermarket shop..everything is very rural...shops where I live shut on Saturday afternoons...LOL ..busy yesterday had my first Bell ringing lesson, and have the rope burns to prove it....
I’ve always wondered why this sign is here. High up by the Cat & Fiddle it stands like a headstone in a really bleak location, but appears to be an ancient marker sign to the capital, London. That’s fine. I can imagine that a couple of hundred years ago, if you were walking or riding south it might be reassuring to know you are going the right way. But even with much faster modern travel, they don’t bother showing signs for ‘London’ on the M6 when you are still 190 miles away. And despite Google suggesting from here to there will take 53 hours if you walk, I think that’s a wee bit optimistic.
Having said that I am an optimist, and my eldest son will need to get to London a bit quicker tomorrow, before embarking on a flight to New Zealand. His young family of five are emigrating and will have to endure 24 hours in the same plane seat before arriving into 14 days quarantine in Auckland. Trying to emigrate during a pandemic has been a fraught time, jumping through all sorts of hoops for this and that, but finally they almost seem to be there, having had cancelled flights and health, and negative Covid checks to contend with too.
Who knows who the travellers were who passed this stone signpost a couple of hundred years ago. They might have been people turfed out of their homes during the Scottish Highland Clearances working their way south to a port to take them to a new life in Nova Scotia, or Newfoundland, Canada. A fair few went that way and virtually starved due to crop failures in the New World. Some chose to build a wooden ship, which they named “The Margaret” and sailed to the south of Australia, and then on to New Zealand settling in a little place called Waipu. I can’t imagine having the guts to make such a journey at such personal risk. We had taken modern travel for granted prior to Covid. But I’m glad my son with our young grandkids are not going by wooden ship. They will have enough challenges ahead as it is.
They'll be 11,250 miles away. I hope they find their paradise.
