Railings - Sepia Saturday

It's a long time since I have used all my own photos in a Sepia Saturday post, but I've managed it by choosing to use 'railings' as the link to this week's photo.

The railings in my first picture are the wooden fence at the bottom of the garden when we moved to a new house in Yarm back in the early 1970s and before either ours or next door's garden had been cultivated.

I'm surprised that he was not hanging upside down. Earlier in the 1950s it was his future mother's turn to do just that,

Then there are these 'elegant' shots of my future wife climbing a ladder to the walkway on the top of the pier at St Andrews at the end of the 1950s when I was at University there.

Straight as a die, those stocking seams!

A little less elegant as she reached the top.

Note the railing to the right

The pictures really should have been in colour as I have never forgotten that green 'felt' skirt!

Meanwhile in Copenhagen in 2007 the railings were merely a vantage point.

What was the big, or should I say small and well formed, attraction? None other than -

The Little Mermaid

In 2012 the railings of a local pier were invaded by Olympians.

Before I go off the rails and you begin to rail at me just swing yourself over to see what others have done at Sepia-Saturday-177-18-may-2013 - Bob's birthday.
