Red fire-escape fence

Well spotted .. and snapped.. Herb... Eee ! escaping fire !... I've done a bit of that over the years.
Cheers !!... and HFF .. with a fine weekend too.. /.. Dave.

Glad you liked it Dave. Aye, you will know how to use these well. I bet you got some un-nerving memories of such things but I reckon they have saved countless lives over the many years across our country. Weather on the change here -Winter again soon maybe. Notice that this photo is the fifth Ipernity posted shot of that fabulous morning -so far.

HFF, enjoy the weekend, Herb

Amazing pov !!
HFF and a nice weekend.

Thanks Jaap. Nice to know I can still tilt my neck so.

Wonderful shot, great pov - HFF Herb, Have a nice weekend.

Thanks John. P.o.v's are important, as you well know.

HFF, Herb!

Thank you my friend.

Interesting view of the fence. HFF from down south.

Got to try these things Steve. In point of fact this was the only way I could capture this as my path ran almost directly underneath it.

HFF, enjoy the weekend, Herb

super fence

Glad you liked them Annemarie.

The red of the brick and fire escape together with PoV and the shadow make a very striking photo! I always feel reassured by fire escapes but hope that I never have to use one;-) HFF, Herb!

Thanks Gudrun - I too like the combination of factors on here, including the harmonic colours. Like you, I feel assured, especially in a large hotel when I see such fire-escapes.

HFF, enjoy the weekend, Herb

A great composition, I'm pleased my camera has a flick out screen !!!! fire was a huge worry in the old mills because of all the lint, the escapes were of course used for an 'illegal' smoke.
I hope you have a HFF and a good weekend Herb

Thanks Peter, of course I know what you are talking about here. I worked for a short time in a converted cotton mill and the workers often found their way to the fire-escapes for a quick drag. The flick out LED screen are, as you say, a boon for such scenes as this.

HFF, enjoy the weekend, Herb

I doubt if many mills are doing the job for which they were built for, these days. HFF Herb!

Very few indeed Neil. We still have a few of these in and around Oldham which was once called the King-of-cotton town. I think even one or two are still doing linen of one sort or the other but most are, as you say, converted to apartments/stores/wharehouses/garages/art studios etc
This one here is an electronics work place.

HFF, enjoy the weekend, Herb

Sometimes you have to suffer for your art Herb....I hope your neck has recovered ;-))
I really like the perspective and yes it is sad to see such buildings go. HFF and I wish you a fine weekend.....Rosa.

I did OK Rosa -although I do suffer slightly with neck problems. Good that you enjoyed this. I agree with you that it is is sad to see such buildings disappearing.

HFF, enjoy the weekend, Herb

HFF Herb, great POV!

Thanks Erhard.

HFF, enjoy the weekend, Herb

Tremendous perspective Herb, the various shades of red look so good against the blue sky,
HFF and a great weekend. cheers Rog.

Glad you liked this one Roger. The colours did draw me too.

HFF, enjoy the weekend, Herb

A well thought out, if uncomfortable looking, perspective Herb. I took a few moments to get my head around what I was looking at..........I should have read the title first :-)

I really like the red colours of the brickwork and the fire escape - perfect pairing. It all looks quite striking under the blue sky.

I like your clever use of selective colour in the second Pip. The B/W image in the first PiP is a corker of a shot.

HFF my friend and have a great weekend.

Thanks Keith. Good that you have enjoyed this one. It all goes to make a different fence shot for me. Good too that you have enjoyed the Pips of my other earlier similar HFF fences. All 'grist to the mill' :) if you forgive the obvious pun.

HFF, enjoy the weekend, Herb

HFF, Herb. A great POV, but the CK is my FAV!.

Have a nice weekend,
Lothar

Thanks Lothar, glad you liked this one. Do I presume you mean the monochrome shot: CK?

HFF, enjoy the weekend, Herb

Fantastic and very special view, fine composed - and the PiPs too. HFF, enjoy your weekend, Herb !

Thanks so much Percy. Glad you liked it.

Amazing red structure! HFF, Herb!

Glad you liked it Dimas.

HFF, enjoy the weekend, Herb

Beautiful. We don't have them, here in Italy.

I am not sure that it is any loss Daniela. This is a blast from the industrial revolution. Glad you liked it though.

HFF, enjoy the weekend, Herb

HFF and a very nice weekend !!!

The same to you Karp.

HFF, enjoy the weekend, Herb

A real eye catching Image Herb love the red and blue and the pov.
HFF have a nice weekend
TOZ

Always good to please you here Toz. Pov's are important, as you know.

HFF, enjoy the weekend, Herb

Lovely composition with great perspective looking upwards. Excellent colour contrast too. HFF and a great weekend to you, Herb. Cheers, Joe

Thanks Joe, this would have looked good in mono too but I have a one of those already in the Pip.
HFF, have a wonderful weekend, Herb

what an unusual perspective - I get a stiff neck :-)))

I've still got mine Anna :) Glad you liked it.

HFF, have a great weekend, Herb

Interesting construction! HFF!

A construction all too familiar for most English people.

Belated HFF, enjoy the weekend, Herb

Great aspect Herb ~ HFF & Hanwe

Glad you liked it Nick. Aspect here a bit unusual for sure.

A superb HFF Herb.
HANWE.

Cheers my friend.

Belated HFF, have a good weekend yourself, Herb

Neck-aching indeed Herb, A very good weekend for you also.

Hope it does not ache too much.

Belated HFF, have a good weekend, Herb

Ich musste erst zweimal hinschauen, um es zu erkennen. Ausgezeichnet, Herb!
HFF und ein schönes Wochenende!

Indeed Trester. Even I had to look several times.

Belated HFF, have a good weekend, Herb

It’s a shame they are deleting so much of our industrial history everywhere.
This is a cracker of a shot Herb

Hi Diana. In point of fact,most places are doing their best to preserve these buildings but I know of at least two big mills having burned down in the last 12 months. Glad you enjoyed this.

Belated HFF, have a good weekend, Herb

Belated HFF, Herb!

And the same to you Andy.

What a good point of view at the main picture. At the colour-key one I like the flower pot on the stairs - for sure not conform with safety rules. ;-)
And the shadow on the nearby one, does a great eye irritation job.

Very belated HFF and a wonderful Sunday.

Last but not least: how do you get those written information ("Nearby" & "Manchester" in that case) added to the PiPs???

Nice to see you again Leon. Good that you have studied all three of these. As you say about the flower pot - not quite conforming to 'health & safety' rules. Good that you have enjoyed them nevertheless.
The wording on the PiPs is easy but a little unconventional at first. I had trouble too at first. Simply add your note from the Actions box and within the new Pip box type your word(s). The important thing is not to have more than a couple of words -preferably only one, then (this is important), paste your HTML code right next to the word. DO NOT leave any space(s) between. -I have tried different combinations, but this seems to be the best. Now it is also possible to add your wording, AFTER the HTML code, and in this case a full new sentence of many words can be added AND it does not seem to matter how much space is between the HTML code and your new wording. Strange!

Hope this helps. Belated HFF, Herb

Thank you a lot Herb, well described and at least I got it, as far it depends on the language. Will try it the next time.
The version after the image, I did see already.
It is great, not everybody has to invent the wheel on its own again (German saying). ;-)

Great perspective! The PiPs are great too. Especially I like the second PiP with the red doors.

Thanks Susanne. Both the Pips were used as HFF entries too but some time back. They can both be looked at big and commented on by simply clicking in the middle of the PiP picture. I enjoyed doing these and might find new variants for another HFF (Happy Fence Friday) yet to come :) Glad you enjoyed them

Cheers, Herb

Superb vision and striking artwork: the different levels of 'geometries', so finely detailed , are composed in a harmonic whole.I love the brilliant contrast of different tones of colors.
Fabulous Pips, too.
Sorry Herb for the belated Hff!
Wishing you a Lovely weekend-Bea

Bea- your comments, no matter if late, are always more than welcome. This was taken during the same walk of beautiful hoarfrost and light snow scenes that I have also posted here. When I went pass here, the lighting was perfect for this kind of scene and I immediately thought of another fence shot for the HFF group/ Very happy that you enjoyed it.

Best Wishes, Herb

Hi Herb

I really like this!

Superb colours and a very clever composition.
I like the PiPs too, but not sure what the 'man from elf n safety' would say about the flower pots on the fire escape!!

Best Wishes, (slightly late) HFF, and a good weekend
Peter

Hi again Peter, always my pleasure to read your considered comments here. I am surprised that you had not seen the pips in the original postings for this same group. As you say, the flowerpot is an object for debate here.

Best Wishes and very belated HFF, Herb

Très heureux ce choix pour célébrer la fin de semaine !

My pleasure to celebrate with such a picture Pat.

Best Wishes, Herb

HFF Herb

My thanks ColRam and belated HFF to you too. Herb
