#FingerpostFriday picture fresh from today's hike, in the background you can see the concrete infested summit of Wendelstein

A yellow fingerpost in snowy landscape.
Right of the fingerpost a rocky summit with some buildings and antennas on top can be seen.

Colour photograph of a stretch of moorland covered in rough grass. At the front right of the frame is a wooden post with way marks. A rough path twists its way across the moor towards the horizon. The sky is blue with a few fluffy clouds.

Möhrenstraße

A street sign on a street corner in Berlin-Mitte. The street is called "Mohrenstraße", but this has been criticised for years because of the racism it implies. Various alternatives have been and continue to be discussed. You can see that the sign has already been splashed with paint, and currently there are two small dots on the o in the first syllable, so that it becomes ö, and the meaning of "Mohr" ("blackamoore", old and offensive) becomes "Möhre" (carrot). Behind the sign is a beautiful old sand-coloured house with a rounded window at the top. On the other side of the road is a makeshift traffic light, behind it a large white old building, and in the background a bright blue sky.

Park Destinations

Whitehill Avenue, Luton, United Kingdom

A green painted metal pole has four different pointers, outlined in gold paint. One of the pointers misses its point.

Be careful about celebrating too much at the end of the #walk - that last mile home from the pub can be the hardest!

Night photo of a fingerpost footpath sign by the side of a path, near trees, bushes and a fence. All are blurred by camera movement/slow shutter speed.

Public Footpath/Pepperstock 1/8

Markyate Road, Slip End, United Kingdom

A bare metal pole has a singular green metal pointer clamped to it. It points with a yellow arrow to the right, and has the words: Public Footpath and Pepperstock 1/8.

Many ways to go on the #SouthDowns - many #footpaths to follow. But, uh… which way is up? The signs aren't helping!

Hikers are walking up a hill, there are several fingerpost footpath signs, all leaning at different angles. The photo itself is taken at an angle to the horizon.

Something a bit continental for #FingerpostFriday

Colour photograph of a bright yellow sign pointing to the left reading Le Montignat 8.0km - 2h30 PR 507 respirando. It is on a pale wooden pole, with a golden coloured stone building behind.

Apparently it’s #fingerPostFriday so here’s a very vague example from today’s visit to #Thurstaston. They could have numbered them, added What Three Words or included a mileage to/from some reference point. Ho-hum. #Wirral

#manicule
#FingerpostFriday
All roads lead to Shepley
(yeah, yeah, but it IS a post with fingers on it)

A stone guidepost, probably late 19th century? About 1 m high, and set into the roadside verge high on the hills near the Don/Calder watershed in Yorkshire. The guidepost is mostly painted white, although the bottom quarter or so is black. Stylized manicules (pointing hands) have been cut into the two visible faces and picked out in black paint. From here we can go to Farnley, Fulstone, Holmfirth, Shelley or Shepley (the last being indicated in two different directions). Rather sweetly these ?Victorian manicules are three-fingered, like cartoonists would draw.

Some more from the hike around Hackberry Spring in the #SuperstitionWilderness that were all in the running to get included. Just 4 photos is so limiting for such a grand bit of desert! But they're all good for #FootpathFriday. And even one (showing the well established trail the signs don't point along) for #FingerpostFriday.
