Walkways

 Raised walkway on the way out to Georgian Bay at Collingwood

It's very rocky below this walkway and there's housing at one end for senior citizens so this fenced boardwalk - along with sturdy benches - makes this a safe way for  visitors of all ages to enjoy beautiful Georgian Bay.

Santa is ready to greet you (if you arrive by boat on the Trent-Severn Waterway)

Concrete walkway on the way out to Georgian Bay at Meaford

I love the shadows here, both those on the concrete posts that make the horizontal rails look bent and the shadow on the walkway.



I am linking to Friday Fences here.

    Very cool- it looks distorted. Also looks like a wonderful place to sick and read a good book!

    I have a weak spot for raised boardwalks. I'm attracted to them like bees to honey. :-)

    Years ago spent a week sailing on Georgian Bay. Had a fine time. Good to see the walkways to the Bay.

    i like those shadow pics and that is a great boardwalk, so us old folks can sit down when tired of walking.

    I think I would stop and sit on every bench (yes, ok, It'd slow me down but who cares?) and then I'd have a chat with Father Christmas.
