I hope all your June challenges are going well so far, either in planning or walking.

What excellent photos you ended up with! And I have now learned the name "fingerposts", which I didn't previously know. I love the optical illusion.

The cap of St Mary and St Stephen's church is unforgivably wonky but there was nothing to be done to get a better angle. I was extremely lucky with the caps I took from the boat though. (My most recent set of caps from Brum are the WORST photo set I've ever considered posting on t'interwebz but still, I hope, better than laboriously linking to other people's better images, or nothing at all). I hope your flanage is going well!

I think older fingerposts are mostly a countryside phenomenon although I've noticed new ones appearing for tourists, especially in pedestrianised areas (like traditional footpath signs). The most obscure street furniture word you need in South London is probably "coalposts" or something, heh.

Unexpected boat rides are the best! I've completed my bus flânage. Not sure I'll have time to do any others as I have lots of walking to do for other projects, but I'll try.
