Happy Bench Monday to all. May your day and your week be calm.

A Happy Fence Friday to everyone. May your days (and weekends and December) be merry and bright. This is a fibro fence, very common throughout WA (and probably all of rural and suburban Australia too). Simple, plain and functional; what more could we ask of a fence.

A very Happy Fence Friday to all, and a happy All Saints' Day to those who believe in such things. I hope your day and your weekend are pleasant and calm. Look after you and yours and any others you meet. I walk past this house two or three times a week and have photographed it many times but always been disappointed by the picture I've taken. I like this one, though, which shows that maybe perseverance pays off. The staining on the wall is from irrigation water from the bore which contains iron. We learn to live with it in this part of WA. Adds interest to the picture, I think.

Western Australian vernacular.

Always was and always will be Aboriginal land. Happy Fence Friday, everyone. May your day be the best it can be and your weekend be relaxing and calm. Please also take a little time to think about the fight against injustice and prejudice wherever they may be (and no matter how entrenched they may appear) and resolve to speak out against them whenever possible.
