Interesting piece, mentions signage as well which can be a bit in your face sometimes on hills.

The article raises interesting questions, not just signage though but about
land art. Richard Long walking tours creates modern stones path, circles and cairns. He could be like Banksy who vandalises/creates art on the surface area of buildings or in Long's case vandalising/creating art in wild unspoilt places.

Perhaps people should have 'play areas' for their art work. I noticed yesterday, that, presumably pagans, have marked Pentre Ifan with a triskele and heart. I blame it on society - the cult of individualism and ignorance......

Aaargh. As likely to just be idiots as pagans though.

In respect of Banksy (and other Bristolian graffiti artists), I must admit that I love seeing the large-scale art on the sides of Bristol's buildings. But not keen on the idea of creating permanent or semi-permanent stuff in the proper outdoors, unless it's in a defined/controlled place like a sculpture park. I prefer Andy Goldworthy's epheremal stuff with leaves: https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2015/10/14/14/goldsworthy-sycamore.jpg?w968h681
