More from magical Levisham Moor, for #FingerpostFriday: even in good conditions it is wise to carry a map up there, as it isn't hard to lose one's bearings. The occasional fingerposts are most welcome. (And yes, 'Dundale Griff' and the 'Hole of Horcum' are real, atmospheric, places.) #NorthYorkshire
A four fingered wooden fingerpost in a moorland landscape. The fingers are as follows: - (To the left and towards the camera) 'BRAYGATE LANE (LEVISHAM)' - (Left and away) 'LEVISHAM STATION' - (To the right and towards the camera) 'LEVISHAM' - (Right and away) 'DUNDALE GRIFF to HOLE OF HORCUM' Photo my own, from 2018.

Hawthorne, in his story of “The Great Stone Face,” gives us the picture of a boy growing up under the influence of a high ideal.

Long Meg and the Druid's Circle, Penrith
Hallo Sunday Alphabetters! Photos today of the stone "Long Meg" who with her "daughters" form a stone circle near #Penrith, #Cumbria.
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekRforRock #standingstones #magic #fingerposts
A colour photograph in portrait format. It shows a large standing stone in a field, part of a circle of stones. From this angle you can see what is thought to be a nose and mouth and, mid-left, an eye. The field is surrounded by a dry stone wall and local farmland. Legend has it that Meg was thought to be a witch turned to stone after dancing madly on the Sabbath!

Mon. Oct. 6 – For those who’d like to get a look at Neptune in their telescope’s eyepiece, tonight the Full Moon and Saturn will provide handy fingerposts. The small blue dot of the outer ice giant will be positioned on a line joining Luna and the ringed planet, and will be located quite close to 1/

I meant to share this for ##TolkienTrewsday but time got away from me.
I am sure the Shire has fingerposts for any wandering hobbits so they can avoid getting lost #fingerpost #Northumberland #tolkien

A few years ago Somerset began a programme of restoration works on the county's many, varied and handsome rural fingerposts. We took a tour to see ancient signs both tired and refurbished. #somerset www.roads.org.uk/blog/somerse...
