HFF to one and all. It's good to be back.

Happy Fence Friday to all. A simple Western Australian suburban fence: plain, ordinary, unexciting, but essential. It does its job, which is all anyone can ask. Have a great day and a gentle weekend. I'll be away for much of the next four weeks so please, you all take care of you.

HWW, everyone. A worn white wall & window for Wednesday.

A Happy Fence Friday to everyone from the viewing platform at the seaward end of the estuary in Mandjoogoordap. May your day and your weekend be merry and bright and your every waking moment full of enjoyment and happiness.

A very Happy Wednesday Wall to everyone. Toot the horn and beat the drum.

Two benches for the price of one. A veritable bargain. Happy Bench (x2) Monday to everyone. Wherever you are, I hope you have some time to sit and enjoy the day. These two benches are on Hampton Street, the main street through the small and delightful town of Bridgetown WA.

May I wish a Happy Fence Friday to all and add my further wishes for a fine and delightful weekend for everyone. This rickety-looking fence borders a path to the beach at Silver Sands/Watersun in Mandurah. The view is across Comet Bay to Halls Head on the right and to Seashells/Mandurah on the left. The dunes here offer protection from the sea and are themselves protected from predatory developers and real estate agents by legislation: a win-win.

HWW to all. Let us hope your days, hours and minutes are joyful.

For World Photography Day, August 19 2023. Murray Street, Perth WA. "And suddenly it's evening" by Salvatore Quasimodo Everyone stands alone at the heart of the world pierced by a ray of sun: and suddenly it’s evening. (Originally in Italian: "Ed è subito sera" Salvatore Quasimodo Ognuno sta solo sul cuor della terra trafitto da un raggio di sole ed è subito sera.)

A very Happy Fence Friday to everyone. May your day be pleasant and bright and may your weekend be full of good things. The Wagyl is part of Noongar mythology in Western Australia: a rainbow serpent which created the Swan River and many other features of the south western part of the state. It appears here on the wall of Airport Central train station in Perth. Better bigger, I think; please press Z to try it out.

This Indigenous artwork is painted on a wall of the Skywalk taking passengers from the new Airport Central train station to Terminals 1 & 2 of Perth International Airport. A Happy Wednesday Whadjuk Wall to everyone. Let your mid-week be joyful and calm wherever you are.
