I think the mural takes the limelight here, rather than the #FingerpostFriday.

L'embarras du choix : où aller ? – En cas de doute, suivez le soleil ..

A solitary wooden direction sign stands against a dramatic sunset, its silhouette set amid a quiet mountain landscape beneath sweeping, cloud-filled skies. The vertical composition places the sign near the center, rising from the dark, grassy foreground into the broad expanse of sky. Its small arrow boards point in different directions, though their lettering is too distant to read. Low shrubs and a few weathered fence posts cluster around its base, while layered mountain ridges stretch across the middle distance. The fading light creates a clear progression from shadowed land to a glowing horizon and expansive clouds.

Happy #FingerpostFriday
There should’ve been another sign “Think twice before you follow this path”. I was glad I wasn’t alone😅
#StileSaturday

A squeeze stile in a dry stone wall. There is a footpath fingerpost in front of the wall, and a large tree behind it.

#FingerpostFriday

Norfolk coast path finger post, with RNLI flag in background. Also, signs about donations for the new lifeboat & the water channel to Wells Harbour.

Wells lifeboat station building & information board. It gives details about lifeboat 13-46, the Duke of Edinburgh. Of how more than 12,000 donated in memory of a loved one.

Letters RNLI made up of a series of printed names

“As part of RNIL's Launch a Memory campaign, 12,109 supporters kindly donated to help save lives at sea in honour of someone they miss. And now, the names of these special loved ones are printed on the sides and wheelhouse of Wells' Shannon ass lifebout Duke of Edinburgh. Together, these names will always be remembered as the lifeboat powers out to sea to save lives for generations to come.”

For #FingerpostFriday

We saw this squirrel running across the fence line. Pure chance that I managed to get a phone shot of it scampering towards the sign. Just proves that its not only humans that totally disregard signs.

A wooden fingerpost directional sign saying Private next to a wooden post and rail fence, with a squrrel scampering along the fence. The squrrel nonchalantly looks like it is ignoring the Private sign instruction, like it just doesn't care at all.

Black-and-white photograph of a cluster of directional signs in Hong Kong in 2004, pointing toward Lan Kwai Fong, the Peak Tram, Star Ferry, visitor information and shopping. English and Chinese lettering, arrows and pictograms overlap against modern city buildings, creating a busy graphic composition.

A snowy day. A wooden sign post pointing left. From the post a snow topped dry stone wall leads the eye to the left of the frame as it stretches ahead. There are bare tree branches behind the sign. On the other side of the wall a snow covered field

Landscape oriented, 4:3 image.

On the left, a narrow, muddy trod across grass-covered moorland.

There's a small wooden fingerpost to the right of the path, towards the middle of the frame. It is crusted in moss and lichen, and the writing on its single pointer is illegible .

Just right and slightly forward of the fingerpost is an old, stone gatepost. This is standing in isolation with no other remains of a gate structure or wall around it. There is a man-made, square hole through this post near the top.

The words 'Hope Cross' and an arrow are carved into the stone post's surface. It points walkers in the same direction as the fingerpost.

In the background, there are hills and moorland across the horizon below cloudy skies.

A kilometre based #FingerPostFriday contribution, especially for @anotherjon.bsky.social after yesterday's unnecessarily hearty & wholesome run-swim-run escapade.
