For many years we were in the habit of creating North Points when we visited somewhere new but were never particularly systematic about recording them - but here are a few (and I must make a note to myself to keep up this little fun tradition starting with this mini one made of fallen fuchsia flowers today). See here, and here and here

In a (Dutch) book I read last year, the author mentions 'stone-men'.

Well I made it up Cath one day in the Lake District with my daughter and we just carried on...Thank you for the recommendation - most welcome! I love this idea Freda. It reminded me of when I used to visit the gardens of a local castle often with my family - there was a large stone sculpture of a foot in the woodland and we used to 'paint' its toenails with whatever petals or leaves had fallen... Magnolia petals were the best. It made people smile. (I still do it!)

I love that these things are ephemeral.

Your delightful northpoints remind me of andy goldsworthy's equally ephemeral work...they are a celebration of our natural world, or our creativity, and wonder....ti love how they leave questions......thank you for that!

I also love that sometimes people add to them. Though I would never do that to an Andy Goldsworthy!
