River Clunie fence

River Clunie fence
We have a choice of fences here on this small river that joins the mighty River Dee only metres from here. As a backdrop we have the famous Braemar Castle. In case you are wondering why a fence should be laid across a river, its possible purpose is to catch floating debris but more likely to foil deer from swimming into the next area.
I wish you all, a great weekend, Herb

ps - a full screen special.

Short fences on small rivers are usually intended to catch debris. This is something else and I love the reflections.

Hi Herb

I really like this

Superb colours

Great composition, especially the linked reflections.

I have seen fences across rivers before, the purpose being (as you say) to catch debris before it ends up in a lock or water wheel.. But in this case, you may be right!

Best Wishes, HFF, and a good weekend
Peter

Herb Riddle club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club

Two beautiful images Herb. The sweep of the fence across the water makes a great image, - and a good 'deer stop' I would imagine! Sorry for the late response. Still catching up.
4 years ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Ecobird club
Always good to see you Carol. I presume the deer stop does its job well. I am only surprised that flooding etc has not washed the whole thing away, but this is only a small river and so may never really get to flood conditions. Glad you liked it. CU ~ Herb
