(Bigger is more detailed. Press Z if you wish.)

Albany, WA

Early morning sun, Murray Street mall, Perth. Sitting across and awaiting my first espresso of the day.

OneBrighton, Mandurah. HFF, everyone. Keep safe, please. You are all important to all of us.

Vintage clothing shop, Collingwood, Victoria

Fiona Stanley Hospital, Perth

Alnmouth, Northumberland. Houses protected from the sea and wind by dunes. An attempt to emulate both Edward Hopper and Andrew Wyeth. Minimal success, but the attempt was worth the effort, the time and the thought processes. EDIT. Rather than "emulate", which is impossible to do given the collective visionary genius of Wyeth and Hopper, I was attempting to "echo" their vision. Still a feeble attempt, but still worth the effort.

A shop in Alnmouth.

My wife (She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed; Light of my Life, Bane of my Existence; the keeper of the privy credit card) tells me this isn’t really a fence, but is a mere railing or banister. Pshaw, what does she know of such technical things? She may know hosts of vitally important things such as the script of every romantic comedy of the last 20 years, lyrics from hundreds of 1980s pop hits and the location of every t-shirt and pair of socks that I possess, but she is clueless as to the difference between a fence and a railing … AND she takes milk in her coffee. Uurgh! And speaking of which, time for a long black. This is a fence. HFF everyone, and may your weekend be joyful, fruitful, enjoyment-ful and full of everything else that you desire.

The Hepworth Gallery, Wakefield

Lowestwood Mill, Linthwaite, built in 1911. Nicknamed Titanic Mill by locals (though whether ironically after the Titanic sinking in 1912 or affectionately because of its size is not known). Restored in the early 2000s after becoming dilapidated after closing down in the 1970s. Now officially called Titanic Mill and home to a luxury spa, apartments, and my mum.

Toodyay, Western Australia. Happy Fence Friday, everyone. I hope your weekend is all you hope it will be.

West Melbourne

HFF to all. Hope your weekend is a good and gentle one.
