Cygnet, Tasmania HFF to one and all. May the weekend be a good one.

Alea iacta est. Huddersfield Narrow, Linthwaite

Happy Fence Friday, everyone. I hope those in Europe have some respite from the heat, those over east in Australia have some respite from the rain, and those in WA can keep warm! Stay safe and enjoy every moment you can. This tree is a Moreton Bay Fig (Ficus macrophylla) in Murray Street in Perth which sits on the pavement and covers the road. It is very big and very beautiful.

Happy Fence Friday, everyone. I hope your weekend is safe, enjoyable and all you hope for. This is Perth railway station. The fence is, I suppose, technically a balustrade. It borders the Horseshoe Bridge, a traffic bridge carrying the road across the station and associated railway lines from the city CBD to Northbridge, where the cultural centre, restaurants, bars and music venues are. It is an iconic structure in Perth but is also responsible for cutting the city off from its most vibrant areas. (There is an alternative route for foot traffic through the station and from which this picture was taken.) The Horseshoe Bridge also cuts the station and passengers off from the newly created Yagan Square and has thus helped in that project's demise. (I wonder whether planners and developers ever revisit the spaces they plan and develop to see the havoc they sometimes wreak? Doubt it somehow. Sorry for the rant, but if there is a hell I hope that developers are consigned to the hottest part of it.) Anyway, enjoy the fence. Big it up by pressing Z.
