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.

Sadly this happens everywhere Old Owl, - maybe the planners should look at the area as a whole instead of in parcels, and work with developers to bring about changes that are beneficial to the whole town. We might then begin to see less 'dead' areas that end up as eyesores or worse.
Have a good weekend. HFF!
