Escape fence

Escape fence
Another of our old cotton-mill fire-escapes here, standing out quite spectacularly in the bright rare sunshine today. Fortunately, not often used!
Maybe I should have posted this in this months ‘windows’ theme SPC :)
HFF, enjoy your weekend

A super collection of vertical and horizontal lines and geometric shapes. I like the look of the fire escape steps - a touch of rust and some peeling paint are always photogenic, but the shadow really makes the shot for me. Very well observed and taken Herb.

HFF to you. I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Keith Burton club
Always pleased that you like my compositions Keith. As you say, a bit of rust, in sunlight, always looks good. The shadows helped too.

An escape ladder I am not sure I would trust Herb, - it looks a bit worn and rusty. A terrific shot though. I love the shadows and lines here. It really makes a great subject. HFF and have a good weekend

Herb Riddle club has replied to Ecobird club
Hi Carol, I doubt that this escape route is actually in use now as I think all such fire escapes would have to be of a certain standard. Glad you liked it.

Hi Herb

A very nice picture, of ladder and shadow...

Wonderful composition

But I thought the man form elf n safety had outlawed fire escapes like that years ago!!

Escape the fire and trip/slip on the ladder!!

Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!
