Sad Fence Friday

Sad Fence Friday
Tanks encircle Kyiv as democracy and people die in Ukraine. The world stands and watches.

ON THE CANAL SIDE

Built by the Victorians to stand the test of time these steps helped the barge-men gain the height to the top of the canal lock here on the Rochdale Canal in Lancashire. There was also a ramp nearby where the dray horse could get to the top too and have a little rest before carrying on its hard pull along the next stretch of water.
The fence here built with care and made to last in the days when such things were normal. Even the rocks making this wall are shaped to add beauty to a very practical structure.

Enjoy the weekend. Herb

Some things will last. In this the nature of rock prevails against man-make metal fences.
