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.
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.
Barriers on the Camden Street bridge over the tracks for the Orange Line subway and Amtrak. Guess they don't want anyone taking a swan dive (or throwing somebody else) in front of a train.
Barrier Lake in Bow Valley Provincial Park, Kananaskis. Barrier Lake is a man made reservoir with a dam at the north end of the lake.
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.
Avon Barrier's SB970CR Scimitar High Security Bollards can be either static or automatic rising bollards and are both crash tested at 80kph using a 7,500kg lorry - PAS 68 similar to K12 - they come with a variety of sleeve designs and protect sites against aggressive attack whilst maintaining a less aggressive appearance.
