We spent a day snorkelling on the Great Barrier reef, where I tried using a cheap waterproof camera, it turned out it wasn’t waterproof.
The quality of the pictures was quite poor unless you got very close to the subject and I also found using the screen to frame the photo very difficult and often lost the fish before getting a shot.
In the end I only got a few pictures and most are not very good, but at least it is a reminder of a great day on the reef.
Another form of barrier I came across but was to make a safe path for pedestrians than bikes. Taken on my Fujifilm X100T.

They'd been there for days guarding a bit of wood and it wasn't until yesterday that I saw the guys working on the cobble stones and realised that the barriers were protecting their slow and intricate work.
The Thames Barrier is located downstream of central London, United Kingdom. Operational since 1982, its purpose is to prevent the floodplain of all but the easternmost boroughs of Greater London from being flooded by exceptionally high tides and storm surges moving up from the North Sea. When needed, it is closed (raised) during high tide; at low tide it can be opened to enhance the river's flow towards the sea. Built approximately 3 km (1.9 mi) due east of the Isle of Dogs, its northern bank is in Silvertown in the London Borough of Newham and its southern bank is in the New Charlton area of the Royal Borough of Greenwich. The report of Sir Hermann Bondi on the North Sea flood of 1953 affecting parts of the Thames Estuary and parts of London was instrumental in the building of the barrier.

The Thames Barrier, located at Woolwich, was built to stop the River Thames flooding. It is a unique and incredible feat of engineering that stretches a third of a mile across the Thames River.
Little Barrier Island/Te Hauturu-o-Toi was declared a nature reserve on 26 September 1895. It was New Zealand's first nature reserve. During the period when the island was occupied by Māori, as much as a third of the Island was cleared of forest. However, since the acquisition of the land by the New Zealand government, all but 20 hectares of the island have been reforested. The Department of Lands and Survey became responsible for the Island, and employed a caretaker. Access is heavily restricted for conservation reasons, and the island is uninhabited except for rotational conservation staff, scientists and rangers under the authority of the Department of Conservation.
In the late 1950s and early 1960s the caretaker, RH Blanshard, and his wife were the only inhabitants. Blanshard was provided with photographic materials by the Department, and many of his photographs showing the landscape and the native birds are filed on an Auckland survey file [BAAZ 1109/153a]. Here are some examples, showing kereru, tui and a little blue penguin.
