The Barrier was created 9000 years ago when a volcano erupted and ran into a glacier forming a dam or volcanic rock. For more information follow the link below.

Photos taken on a full day hike up to Garibaldi Lake and Taylor Meadows on September 12, 2010. It was an extremely wet rainy day and from what I hear snowing at higher elevations too.
The Thames Barrier, defending London against flooding.
A walk along The Thames Path with Lau on a freezing November day
Churchill barrier No3, built in the second World war, lies in Weddell Sound, Orkneys. Block ship Reginald lies in the water to the right.
Those temporary barrier things are PURPLE in Edinburgh! Proof that it's one of the coolest places on the planet! I really wanted to steal one.
Insulapack's Fire Barrier Insulation, Fibre FB, will not burn and blocks heat penetration of 1100° for up to 2 hours.
19/04/2017 #1570. A new feature on my commute to work, as the 'elf & safety brigade have put up barriers along the roadside by the "Red Lion" roundabout. I'm not aware of any incidents, but clearly they don't want pedestrians/cyclists crossing at any point other than at the roundabout. Perhaps a temporary thing for the Beer Festival held over the Easter Weekend.

A slightly stylised picture of this Barrier Point on the south bank of the Thames. This building is less than 10 years old but looks like some 30's relic. Photo was taken from the river.
All patient rooms have their own attached bathroom. Most bathrooms have a sliding door for ease of use and to maintain a large amount of space in the patient rooms. You can see they are easy to use, with no barriers for the patients.
Japan Ground Self-Defense Force Capt. Yusuke Minagi explains the importance of overcoming language barriers June 23 at Five Hills Training Area, Mongolia, during convoy operations training at Exercise Khaan Quest 2014. KQ14 is a regularly scheduled, multinational exercise hosted annually by Mongolian Armed Forces and co-sponsored this year by U.S. Army, Pacific, and U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Pacific. KQ14 is the latest in a continuing series of exercises designed to promote regional peace and security. This year marks the 12th iteration of this training event. During the training, the service members searched for simulated improvised explosive devices and then practiced what they would do in a real-world situation. Minagi is an international peace activity training officer in Shizuoka, Japan. The Marines and sailors are with Company C, 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, which is currently assigned to 4th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force, under the unit deployment program.
Thames Barrier Park when the fences were still in tact - all of the wires from the fence were stolen (by crazy people obviously) and now bits of the park are closed so you don't fall in the water. Don't know when they'll be replaced.
The Thames Barrier spans 520 metres across the River Thames near Woolwich, and it protects 125 square kilometres of central London from flooding caused by tidal surges. It has 10 steel gates that can be raised into position across the River Thames. When raised, the main gates stand as high as a 5-storey building and as wide as the opening of Tower Bridge. Each main gate weighs 3,300 tonnes.
The barrier is closed under storm surge conditions to protect London from flooding from the sea. It may also be closed during periods of high flow over Teddington Weir to reduce the risk of river flooding in some areas of west London including Richmond and Twickenham.
The Thames Barrier will then remain closed over high water until the water level downstream of the Thames Barrier has reduced to the same level as upstream. This is a managed process to provide for different circumstances, and takes about 5 hours. The Thames Barrier is then opened, allowing the water upstream to flow out to sea with the outward-bound tide.
The Environment Agency has closed the Thames Barrier 174 times since it became operational in 1982 (correct as of March 2014). Of these closures, 87 were to protect against tidal flooding and 87 were to alleviate river flooding. The frequency of closures has increased over recent decades.
We continued along the final stretch of the Barrier Hwy from Cober to Nyngan where we turned onto the Mitchell Highway towards Parkes.
I've been building up a collection of animal barriers which I'm now ready to show. See them all here.

I've seen lots of these frog barriers. Great design though.
