A return to Good Fences

A little while ago now I had a quick trip to Warkworth to have morning tea with an old, old friend from Aussie, lunch with my lovely niece, Sharon and then a cooling afternoon drink with a mate who lives locally.  I'm not the most organised person in the world but things just worked out perfectly that day.

While waiting for my morning tea friends to arrive I took a walk along the riverbank to have a look at the Jane Gifford which is this country's last remaining rigged sailing scow and is now available for river cruises.

Later in the day I was up the other end of town and when wandering with my camera, spotted a few fences.




It's been quite a while since I linked to Gosia's Good Fences.

      Thanks, Lea. That last shot turned out better than I expected. It was a really hot afternoon and I expected the light to be quite harsh.

      It was the filtering light that I wanted to capture, Carol, so I was happy with that shot.

    It would be wonderful to go on a sailing cruise on that beautiful rigged sailing scow. Great fences and my favourite is the last one.

    Hi Pauline
    We watched the restoration of the Jane Gifford at Robertsons boatyard!
    It's a wonderful addition to the Warkworth wharf.
    Great fences too galfriend!!!

      Now that's a delightful connection, Shane! And a reminder to go back to the boatyard and old brickworks ruins to take more photos. I haven't been there in ages.
