A Happy Fence Friday to all. I hope your day is a good one and your weekend is pleasing. This fence is seen through the door of a free Purple CAT bus as we passed through the streets of Perth.

Happy Final Fence Friday of 2023 to all. I hope your day, your weekend, your New Year's Eve and your first day of the new year are as spectacular as you would wish them to be. For some strange and highly illogical reason we often look forward more hopefully at this time of year than at any other. Let's hope our aspirations are rewarded. This is Elizabeth Quay (colloquially called "Betty's Jetty") bus station, Perth. The colours of the columns relate to the various CAT routes departing from this Busport. The CAT (Central Area Transit) buses are free routes around the city of Perth and are a godsend for those of us who hate city driving or who resent paying exorbitant car parking fees. Better seen bigger by pressing Z.

Happy Fence Friday, everyone. I hope your weekend is safe, enjoyable and all you hope for. This is Perth railway station. The fence is, I suppose, technically a balustrade. It borders the Horseshoe Bridge, a traffic bridge carrying the road across the station and associated railway lines from the city CBD to Northbridge, where the cultural centre, restaurants, bars and music venues are. It is an iconic structure in Perth but is also responsible for cutting the city off from its most vibrant areas. (There is an alternative route for foot traffic through the station and from which this picture was taken.) The Horseshoe Bridge also cuts the station and passengers off from the newly created Yagan Square and has thus helped in that project's demise. (I wonder whether planners and developers ever revisit the spaces they plan and develop to see the havoc they sometimes wreak? Doubt it somehow. Sorry for the rant, but if there is a hell I hope that developers are consigned to the hottest part of it.) Anyway, enjoy the fence. Big it up by pressing Z.
