Spot the dog!

Spot the dog!
Despite very strong winds we still make the effort to take exercises at least twice a week. Here we are back again at Piethorne reservoir not too far from home, walking along the dam wall with the water to our left. The girl with her wind blown hair-do and the dog on a lead gives us an extra bit of attention and perhaps a smile amongst this plethora of fences.
See PiP for the full reservoir scene.

Enjoy full screen and have a great weekend.

Herb Riddle club has replied to TOZ club
Thanks Gordon, glad you liked it. No idea of the purpose of these things. Certainly not animal control! Maybe it has something to do with weather -snow build perhaps. As there are gates at both ends I cannot believe they are to control car-parking etc on here but that being said, these might have been here before the gates so....

Gotcha'.. on that Herb'... water is always good for the ambience... // Plenty of fences there too - but I am wondering for what purpose ?.. Nevertheless - have a fine weekend and a ''HFF'' to you from Dj.

Herb Riddle club has replied to David G Johnson club
Hi David. Most happy that you enjoy this duo of pictures. .... No idea of the purpose of these things. Certainly not animal control! Maybe it has something to do with weather -snow build perhaps. As there are gates at both ends I cannot believe they are to control car-parking as people park on the roadside up to this dam in limited spaces but that being said, these might have been here before the gates so....

A plethora of fine looking fences in this nicely composed image Herb..........although I have to admit I have no idea why they're there? It can't possibly be for aNNa's suggestion (above) can it? :-)))

Great to see people out walking...........it may be windy (as the lady's red hair suggests), but at least it's dry and sunny.

I spotted the dog too! In fact I was quite familiar with Spot the Dog when my grandchildren were much younger.

Have a good weekend, whatever you're up to.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Keith Burton club
Ah, you know - I was thinking of you when I wrote the word 'plethora' as I know you like these descriptive adjectives :) I too remember seeing 'Spot the Dog' books and short stories when our grandchildren were younger.
As for the fences themselves... No idea of the purpose of these things. Certainly not animal control! Maybe it has something to do with weather -or snow build perhaps. As there are gates at both ends I cannot believe they are to control car-parking as people park on the roadside up to this dam in limited spaces but that being said, these might have been here before the gates so..
There are three reservoirs along a dry road/track here and therefore very accessible to many walkers and lover of fine countryside. We come here from the opposite direction up and down a very steep stony lane about 0.75miles long -we see very few walkers on that.
Glad you liked it.

Have a great weekend. raining here again! --- Herb

Keith Burton club has replied to Herb Riddle club
The purpose of the fence will remain a mystery then Herb..............not that is matters, they're very photogenic.

It was gorgeous weather here yesterday........winter sunshine and quite chilly. Today was cloudier and much colder........we're told that tomorrow will be strong winds and heavy rain and Monday will be similar! Roll on summer!

Hi Herb
A very nice picture, which I like very much!
Wonderful idea to get the dog in the corner.
The fences make a nice composition, but their purpose I don't understand!
Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

Herb Riddle club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club
Thanks Peter. Glad you liked the composition. I had another almost duplicate picture without people nor dogs but chose this instead.

As for the fences themselves... No idea of the purpose of these things. Certainly not animal control! Maybe it has something to do with weather -or snow build perhaps. As there are gates at both ends I cannot believe they are to control car-parking as people park on the roadside up to this dam in limited spaces but that being said, these might have been here before the gates so..
