Hi Herb,

Great picture as ever, and one I seem to remember from Pano.
I never realised so much science could be applied to the building of such a simple fence! Thanks for the education!

Best Wishes, HFF, and a good weekend!
Peter

Herb Riddle club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club
Hi again Peter, yes its been a while now since this last saw the light of its famous days in Panoramio where it did well too. I remember talking to a group of students who were erecting these fences and getting a very interesting lecture. I presume you followed the link above.
HFF and enjoy the rest of your weekend, Herb
