My Friday's Fence Post

First up, this one taken from Dawes Point location, looking back to Circular Quay (Sydney Harbour).


This quaint sandstone-construction with it's ornate copper roofing, stands with an open doorway to one side;  appears had once been a morse-code communications site.




...judging by this plaque set in the pathway at the foot of.



...a little fence on the corner building here


and lastly, a charming fence with gate, and then the beginning of a neighbouring fence

  1. I love the ornate squares of the fence in the first shot and what a unique little stone tower.
    LOVE the last green and red fence -an inviting entryway!

  2. Hello, Carole M..

      The coldest winter will be melted by your warm heart.
      The works gently accept all visitors.

      I praise your creative art sense.
      The prayer for all peace.
      
      Have a good weekend.

  5. I like seeing the harbour on an overcast day rather than in blazing sunlight [which always scares me].
    Your gate collection is building up nicely. All such pretty ones.
    BTW, how do you pronounce your first name: to rhyme with 'carol' or 'parole'? I always say people's names in my head when I visit somewhere.

  6. Hannah, yes my name rhymes with 'carol' even though mine has the added 'e'

  12. Hi Carole, I'm loving the fences. Also the little sandstone building. Interesting that it was used for Morse
    code.
    Have a great weekend.

  21. I have a very similar fence image to your lead photo today. I am not sure about that little structure down near Pier One with the copper roof. It has only been placed there in the last little while (maybe 20 years). It was certainly NOT there prior to the bridge being constructed or when the area was a security wharf enclosed area. I read that sign too, and wonder why it is there. It does not actually SAY that the hut was used for Morse Code. Very quizzical.

  22. Beautiful fence photographs, Carole! If I had to select a favorite, it would be the last photograph of the charming painted fence. Very inviting! A joy to visit your wonderful blog!

  23. thanks to Julie for your information re the "morse code structure" down at Dawes Point. It did seem a little odd that there was no reference material online. I'd written to local council but to date no response; worth persuing......

  24. Beautiful fences in your shots.

    Regards and best wishes

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
