i was invited to curate a ritual marking a transition for matryoshka haus as part of a thanksgiving feast. we called it the fray and gave thanks for the past (land), moved into the inbetween space of not knowing acknowledging loss and grief (the fray) and then looked forward to new adventures (the sea).
I've often wondered how many people this signpost for Old Market has confused, bearing in mind it points about 90 degrees away from Old Market, and isn't, as far as I can tell, followed up by any signs that tell you to point in the right direction. Also, how likely are you to have got to this point (junction of 3 Queens' Lane and St. Thomas Street in Redcliffe) while trying to get to Old Market, anyway?
Captured this signpost just as the sun was going down on a grey cloudy winter evening. I think that the dull colour of the background accentuates the grubbiness of the sign which has obviously stood over this past of industrial West Yorkshire for some years.

Here's another of the cartoons I found in a sketchbook the other day. These were for a workshop on ethics and accountability. The audience was to have been administrators in the public sector, which is why these characters are wearing suits and ties with their shorts and hiking boots. But even in your best business clothes, you can feel lost and need to find a sense of direction. The cartoons were never finished because plans for the workshop changed, but I still enjoyed drawing them. Today I used Painter to do just enough cleanup to make this presentable and legible.
The fields really were this colour, taken on a late winter's afternoon. The signpost has been added to satisfy the brief of "a landscape with signpost", I took it at a sculpture trail in Bergh Apton, the little viewing window was part of the sculpture by Ann Christie. I toyed with putting an eye in that window but it looked too weird.
The signpost pointing the way to Lexington's sister cities sits on the corner of courthouse square in downtown Lexington, KY.

did you know that the word "trivia" comes from the old roman signposts at crossroads?

On the way back we were totally misled by a signpost to an alternative route via stepping stones across the river. It was OK at first but then when we'd gone too far to turn back turned into a veritable army assault course and we ended up exhausted. Then I thought I'd dropped my phone on the assault course and we were dragging ourselves back to search for it when my wife tried the car. I'd got in to turn on the a/c and the phone had slipped down the side of the seat. Phew!
"So Catherine if we turn off now and follow that path to Chopgate, we can get to the pub about an hour earlier and not have to go up that big hill. What do you think? Why are you looking at me like that?"
