Fences

Seen in Tasmania outside the pancake restaurant in Elephant Pass. :) Happy Fence Friday!

Looking over the rail of the Freycinet Lodge in Tasmania. Happy Fence Friday!

This old mill, now restored and working, was built in Oatlands, Tasmania in 1837. It is the only working example of its type in the southern hemisphere. Yes, it is possible to buy flour milled by it. The fence also is appropriate to the period. Happy Fence Friday!

This old dry stone wall goes back to the early days of settlement in Tasmania. This kind of fencing is found in only a few parts of Australia. HFF!

In an earlier shot (see note) I explained the unique Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) alongside the Derwent River estuary in Hobart. This 2007 full size 'concrete truck' sculpture in laser-cut steel is by Belgian artist Wim Delvoye and is on the roof level of MONA (from which entry is by lift to down near water level). The surrounding fences are in treated steel, matching the truck. Happy Fence Friday!

Japanese garden, through a lounge room window. That's a fence running down the hillside behind, so HFF! Explored.

Unlikely as it may seem, an exact replica of Mawson's Huts has been created on a prime site near the Hobart waterfront by the Mawson's Huts Foundation (which also is busily restoring and preserving the original structures at Commonwealth Bay, Antarctica). The idea is that this will be accessible to many more people. We passed the site just a week before it was due to open on 2 December 2013, the 102nd anniversary of the sailing of the original Australasian Antarctic Expedition led by Mawson. Unfortunately it was very much a construction site at that stage, with safety considerations preventing uninvited visitors.... But I managed to photograph the fence. :) Happy Fence Friday!

For many of you this is commonplace, but I'm a country kid. :) A glitch in my computer prevented me loading this earlier. Looks best viewed large. HFF! Explored.

For some, this Friday is celebrated as halloween. I hope this matches the spooky theme (view on black if you dare. :) HFF. Explored.
