Scottish rope fence

Scottish rope fence
Its anchors away in this St Cyrus garden, overlooking a wide expansive beach behind and below me. Here we are looking west, towards fields of rapeseed that seems to do well in this Northern part of the British Isles at almost sea-level. This was a very busy salmon fishing area where migrating fish were caught going up and down the river Esk and so there would be no shortage of all kind of rope but more likely this thick rope was brought from one of the bigger ships visiting the nearby Montrose port. The approaching rains you can see here never did get to us. -Correction , yes it did some hours later.
I wish you all, a great weekend, Herb

A fine landscape and the rope does give an ornamental touch to the fence, as the lights no doubt do for the anchor at night. HFF and have a great weekend, Herb.

Good to see you again George. You have me with the lights though :) Glad you liked it.

HFF, have a great weekend. Herb

tiabunna club has replied to Herb Riddle club
Thanks, Herb. Re the lights, when I view this large, there's a black wire wrapped around the curved part of the anchor and it looks to me that it has a series of small LED lights of the kind used on XMAS trees. What do you think?

 Keith Burton
Keith Burton club
This is very nice Herb. I like the anchor - it makes great foreground interest and the heavy rope strung over the fence posts. It looks like the rope is purely for show, but it softens the line of the barbed wire nicely. The big rape field is a lovely eye catcher!

HFF my friend. Have a splendid weekend.
5 years ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Keith Burton club
A sea-faring shot for sure and it ties in nicely with the adjacent photo too. I am sure the rope is all for sure as this is a BB place. I saw quite a bit of rapeseed fields on this trip and so I am sure I shall post something a little more appropriate to that. Glad you liked it.

HFF and have a great BH weekend (again). Herb

Hi Herb

I really like this mix of elements in the picture. The light on the yellow rape seed just provides a 'third object' to balance the composition.

As always, you have thought it out well..

Best Wishes, HFF, and a good weekend
Peter

PS, been so busy with work recently. I 'l be back to give the rest of your holiday pics proper attention soon!
5 years ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club
Hi Peter. always good to read your thoughts on my pics here. As fir thirds and the like, after many years of picture taking, it all comes very natural. If I don't compose it just right on the take, then I crop to suit later. Good that you enjoyed this one -it was a great walk along sand, cliffs and fields.

In the meantime, I shall continue to drip-feed my latest Scotland pictures on here besides some others too.

Belated HFF and enjoy your BH weekend. Herb

Nicely composed Herb. I like the way the rope fence separated beach from fields. Super contrast here too with the bright yellow against the dark sky. Beautifully done. Belated HFF and enjoy the rest of the Bank Holiday weekend

Herb Riddle club has replied to Ecobird club
Nice to see you again Carol. Yes, a nice mixture of elements brought this together for me making it a very fruitful walk indeed. Glad you enjoyed it. My later bad weather photo was taken just a few hours later in the same day so the bad weather really did catch us in the end.

Hope you enjoyed the Bank holiday. Herb
