Windermere Fence

On the west side of this great English lake stands the imposing Wray castle. Following the path from here down to the lake is a special boat jetty allowing tourist to visit it and its shore. Alighting passenger may, if they look carefully see this very old fence finding its way into the water. Its original purpose is now long lost but for me, still a beautiful little scene with the contrast of the new jetty woodwork in the background.
Enjoy full size.
I wish you all, a great weekend, Herb

It looks like the fence has seen some action Herb and some reality to the new jetty . HFF from down under.

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Steve Paxton ^club

More than likely just a boundary fence to keep animals from straying into the castle grounds Steve. Glad you enjoyed this.

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Gudrun ^club

Indeed Gudrun. In fact we could not only smell the fresh water here but as you say the breeze from it was cooling and refreshing in the day's heat.

A beautiful shot Herb. I have only been to Windermere once but would love to return.
HFF and hope the fires near you are brought under control over the weekend.
Best wishes, Rosa.

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne

Nice to see you again Rosa. This morning, I see no smoke!!! Maybe that's a sign of good things. The Lake District is always a pleasure to visit and Windermere has so many areas of interest. We also picnicked at 'Fell Foot Park' at the foot of the lake that morning.

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Xata ^club

Hi Xata, I know this looks like low tide but it is a lake, so no tides here. However the water-level does rise and fall depending on rain-fall. Thanks for the call.
