The boathouse

A look over Crummock Water along this fence, taking our eye to the boathouse on the opposite shore. When I see these fences in a big lake I often ask myself “to what purpose does it take?” Its Summer and the dense backdrop of green leaves on the trees testify to the amount of rain they have here.

Enjoy full size and have a great week.

Maybe they want to separate an area where you can swim - or not at all?

Haha, maybe, as people do swim in this lake but normally from another corner. Thanks for the call.

A good point Herb'... why the part submerged fencing.. ? // Anyway nay ye' worry tis a good picture indeed and as you point out 'taking our eye'... // Keep well and a ''HFF'' to you from Dj.

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to David G Johnson ^club

Thanks for the visit David. As you full well know, this fence is simply an extension of the land based fence here to keep livestock in the correct sections, even when the lake is low and cattle try to get around it here. Some yards out to discourage swimming cows too?

HFF, have a great weekend.

It does take full size to enjoy this fully, Herb: the beautiful greens and shapes of the trees, the group of colorful figures by the boathouse, the gentle waves of the Water. A deceptively simple image, with an unsuspected wealth of interesting details.

HFF!

A fine view to the boathouse.........and great use of the fence as a leading line. I really like the vibrant green of the trees too.

HFF Herb..................and I wish you an enjoyable weekend.

(I think the fence is to allow the fish to play volleyball when there's no one around)!

Hi Herb
A very nice picture, which I like very much!
The fence serves two purposes..
1) When the water level drops in summer, it is still there..
2) It prevents people / animals doing the simple thing of walking into the water to go round it..
Great well thought out pic, as usual...!
Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!
