Fencing on Lake Huron
Sometimes the wind blows fiercely off Lake Huron! This fencing helps control some of the blowing sand.
Pathway to control foot traffic
The fence helps keep traffic off the sand dunes when visitors leave the beach to reach their transportation home.
I am linking to Friday Fences here.
Makes me want to hop the fence, take my shoes off, and wiggle my toes in the sand!
ReplyDeleteNajważniejszy jest widok za płotkami, jest cudny. Pozdrawiam.
ReplyDeleteThe most important is the view for the fences, it is wonderful. Yours.
I'm old enough to remember when we could drive our cars onto Sauble Beach right up to the water's edge. Just like Wasaga Beach.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful day at the beach, it's a dream! :D
ReplyDeleteI like a lot the fences!Your pictures are wonderful, thanks for sharing!

i always enjoy the beach fences ... so great ... lining the way. was it windy? ( :
ReplyDeleteOh I love sand dunes, have you ever been to the Sandbanks near Picton? B
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. I love those old 'snow' fences that also apparently work for sand. :) The water looks cold.
ReplyDeleteI like the monotone of these fences.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. The water is so beautiful!
ReplyDeletewe have similar fencing on our dunes at the beach, it helps with blowing sand and keeps people off that do not pay attention to posted, do not climb on dunes signs.
ReplyDeleteFences make such great graphics. Those in the second picture look a but worse for wear.

I love fences like this, and these are beauties!
ReplyDeleteLook like snow fences to me! But I'm glad they're being put to good use. The dunes are very delicate and very important to the environment. Love that blue-green water.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely beach!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely!
ReplyDeleteI just finished discussing a beach trip with my husband! How apropos. Love these images. It looks so inviting and peaceful.
ReplyDeleteI love the lake when it's rough! I thought that was snow fencing. Cale Hurd is on the tip of the Bruce, 11km from Tobermory.
ReplyDeletei like the beach fence - reminds me of snow fence. :)
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the fences along the sandy beached!
ReplyDeleteLooks a wee bit choppy out there EG, the fences I'm sure would be apprediated.
ReplyDeleteThe water looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI have always loved the look of those beach fences...kind of an iconic look from the beach!!
ReplyDeleteThat first is one of my favorites ever. It just says "beach" to me.
ReplyDelete=)
Such a quintessential thing to see along these sandy stretches - always brings summer, surf and seabreezes to mind!
ReplyDeleteGood idea for directing traffic and controlling the blowing sand. We see similar fences along roads here, used to control snow drifts.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the memory! My hometown along Lake Michigan still uses this technique as well. It does seem to work:)
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see that fencing is used to help keep people off the dunes.
ReplyDeleteWe have something like those fences around our beaches too. It is nessesary and they look good to everyone.
ReplyDeleteWe don't see too many beach fences here, these ones are wonderful. Great shots of them.
ReplyDeleteNice fences!
ReplyDeleteI saw the same system when I visited Camargue in southern France.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the snow fences in Colorado.
ReplyDeleteThe Great Lakes and their sand dunes are so amazing!
ReplyDeleteI would love to walk around there.
ReplyDeleteOn some beaches we have such fences to lay behind protected from the wind !
ReplyDeleteVery nice pictures !
Beautiful. ! !

ReplyDeleteThe wind looks to be howling there.
ReplyDeleteNice picture... love the sandy beaches, my favorite place to be, if I could every day ;-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like some rough waves. Bet its nice in the summer months!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since we've been out that way but is on my list for this summer!
ReplyDeleteVery nice beach and fence combination. You can tell the wind as taken a toll on the fence.
ReplyDeleteYou can feel the force of the wind in the top photo. Nice pic.
ReplyDeleteI love the weathered look of beach fencing.
ReplyDeleteBig lake for sure. Looks like the ocean here with the sand and waves and fences. MB
