The Ralph Cross, on the North York Moors. This is a way mark for travellers on the moors, before the days of Sat Nav. Picture taken August 2014, from my archive.
Next week’s prompt is Fiction.
Happy Snapping!

Hi Cathy, here is my Cross https://haikuhound.wordpress.com/2017/06/17/cross-story/
I want to know more! How old is it? Why were people traveling this route through the moors? Was it for religious reasons?
No, they would be taking sheep to the coast, who would then go by ship to London. And bringing goods from the ports inland. This cross is quite new , replacing an older one. If you look at Wild Daffodil’s comment above she has left a link to another blog,. I should have provided more niformation myself, sorry.
Great image Cathy. As a former History teacher I am asking all kinds of questions .
Thanks Denis
The Cross has shown me the way through most of my life.
Well put Carl
It seems nature may have it in for me!
What a great piece of history! Not sure how well I’d do navigating by stone marker though!😉. Here’s my link: https://livinginrapidcity.wordpress.com/2017/06/13/photo-challenge-cross/
Thanks Kathy, not certain I could either!
You be careful when you are out there doing your wild stuff this month!😉
What a gorgeous photo! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks Robin.
Really interesting and what a great landscape behind!
Thanks RJ.
Fascinating! There are a couple of Ralphs in our family so I searched to see if I could find any reference about how it got its name and came across this blog: http://www.hidden-teesside.co.uk/2013/08/15/young-ralph-cross/
Thank you Cathy!
Hope your Ralph’s like the cross! Thanks.
Tall yes!
