Sevilla – Plaza de España The Plaza de España is a plaza in the Parque de María Luisa, in Seville, Spain, built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. It is a landmark example of the Regionalism Architecture, mixing elements of the Renaissance Revival and Moorish Revival (Neo-Mudéjar) styles of Spanish architecture. Architect: Aníbal González The Plaza de España has been used as a filming location, including scenes for the 1962 film "Lawrence of Arabia". The building was used as a location in the Star Wars movie series "Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones" (2002) — in which it featured in exterior shots of the City of Theed on the Planet Naboo. It also featured in the 2012 film "The Dictator". The plaza was used as a set for the video of Simply Red's song " Something Got Me Started " (1991). * HBF = Happy Black Friday! ;-) (37.37651, -05.98625); [00°]

Albufeira – "Die Unvollendete" Unintentionally fenced. It's the concrete reinforcement of a wall that never had been finished, so now it has the function of a fence. => HFF (37.08390, -08.26917); [280°]

Houston, we have a fence! Cape Kennedy Space Center – Launch Complex 39A Man dürfte leicht geneigt sein, den Zaun in diesem Bild zu übersehen, angesichts der Imposanz der dahinter liegenden monströsen Konstruktion. Aber der Zaun ist nötig; er hält nicht nur die ungebetenen Leute davon ab, das Gelände zu betreten, sondern auch die zahlreichen Tiere, die das umliegende (zum Naturschutzgebiet erklärte) Areal bevölkern. Es handelt sich hierbei um das Launch Complex 39A, der Startrampe der Raketen des Apollo-Programms in den 60er und 70er Jahren. Aktuell wird die Startrampe wieder durch Elon Musk, dem Tesla- und SpaceX-Gründer, für seine "Falcon-9" und "Falcon Heavy" Raketen benutzt. (Wenn du in die Karte klickst, sieht man den SpaceX-Hangar, mit weissem Dach, direkt südlich vom Aufnahmestandpunkt.) => Kennedy Space Center, Launch Complex 39 => SpaceX Hangar von Elon Musk auf dem Gelände. –––––––– Cape Kennedy Space Center – Launch Complex 39A One might easily be inclined to overlook the fence in this picture, given the imposing monstrous construction behind it. But the fence is necessary. It keeps the uninvited people from entering the grounds; and also the numerous animals that populate the surrounding area (declared as a nature reserve). It is the Launch Complex 39A, the launch pad of the Apollo missile launchers in the 60s and 70s. Currently, the launch pad is being used by Elton Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX founder, for his "Falcon 9" and "Falcon Heavy" Rockets. (If you click on the map, you will see the SpaceX hangar, with a white roof, just south of the shot point.) => Kennedy Space Center, Launch Complex 39 (28.60338, -80.60398); [10°]

Blick von der Gesslerburg Richtung Küssnacht. View from the Gessler Castle to Küssnacht. Only a few hundred meters away from here (47.0915, 08.4521) is the "Hohle Gasse", a narrow path in the forest. It's the place were, according to a legend, William Tell shot the tyrannous bailiff Herrmann Gessler with an arrow from his crossbow; and so Switzerland has been freed from the rule of Habsburg. Happened around 1290. Well, this is the very short version ;-) HFF (47.08178, 08.44847); [200°] [195/200]

Murten – city curtain wall with parapet walk. - HFF - Well, in fact it's not a fence it is rather a balustrade or banister, but more and more also balustrades are established in this group, as I've seen. :-) ➽ PIP 1: The roof framework of the watch tower you can see on the left side.

– Happy Fence Friday – Suspension Bridge Hohstalden, Adelboden, Switzerland There is a nice story behind. The father of two children, who lives on this far side of the valley, has built this suspension bridge with the help of sponsors, so that his children have a shorter trip to school. Otherwise they would need hours to get there. See infos about the bridge and sponsors as well as craftsmen in the two PIPs. ➽ Hängebrücke Hostalde (46.55939, 07.61742); [350°]

– Happy Fence Friday – Luzern – Wasserturm bei der Kapellbrücke, vom Rathaussteg. Eine von vielen Zeichnungen, die ich während meiner Lehrzeit erstellt habe. Hier ein Beispiel aus den Anfängen.
