A promenade fence

Taken a few years back now, this splendid iron fence adorns the promenade of our Yorkshire coastal town of Filey. Over the years countless layers of white paint has been added onto this, to counter the constant salt spray, but as you can see the rust still prevails giving it an attractive look too. The top rail is in fact painted a very similar but darker rich ochre colour. In the distance one can see the headland of the famous Filey Brig.
PiP shows Filey itself.

HFF, enjoy the weekend.

It's a lovely fence Herb. I haven't seen one like that before. I don't know the Yorkshire coast at all unfortunately. Hope to put that right one day! I love the PiP with all the little people ;-)
HFF and wish you a good weekend. Cheers, Rosa.

You are missing something wonderful then in that coast. Most of it is rather fantastic but like most places up here windy and wet.

The light on the fence is lovely and it's brought out the orange and brown colours of the rust beautifully. I think that it's very attractive.

A great image in the PiP too.

This is a really lovely shot Herb. The rust colours are really attractive, especially with the light on the fence. A tantalising glimpse of the beach scene and I like the PiP with the wider view. HFF and have a great weekend

Hi Herb

A very nice picture, which I really like

Fantastic colours, both in the fence, and the lady on the beach with the colourful coat

Wonderful composition and perspective, as always!!!

The multiple layers of paint remind me of the flats we used to have as students, where year upon year the landlord simply added another layer of magnolia....!

Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!
