This is a flood barrier they are making at the bottom of the airport. Old drums with a post through them filled with sand and then sealed at the top with cement.
The Thames Barrier in London is one of the largest movable flood barriers in the world. The Environment Agency runs and maintains the Thames Barrier as well as London’s other flood defences.
The Environment Agency receives information on potential tidal surges from weather satellites, oil rigs, weather ships and coastal stations. They can forecast dangerous conditions up to 36 hours in advance, and will close the barrier just after low tide, or about 4 hours before the peak of the incoming surge tide reaches the barrier.
They get information from a range of mathematical computer models that forecast expected sea and river levels. This is supplemented by data from the Met Office and real-time information provided by the UK National Tidegauge Network. This hydrological and meteorological data is fed into the control room every minute from a wide network of tide, river, pressure and wind gauges.
The decision to close, or not, is based on a combination of 3 major factors:
1) The height of the tide (usually a spring tide) measured at the Thames Estuary
2) The height of the tidal surge, which naturally accompanies each tide
3) The river flow entering the tidal Thames, measured as it passes over Teddington Weir.

Broken Hill 270km.
From Peterborough we headed along the Barrier Highway to the NSW Border and the old Mining Town of Broken Hill. It is a long drive and a fairly featureless road, but this is what we saw.

Great live cover over 80-90% live hard coral, something I have never seen before, I gotta say the Great Barrier reef is in great shape.

A roper accelerates through the barrier (the yellow rope with the orange flag) at the Georgia High School Rodeo Association Finals.

F4@1/200th

The roping chute backs up just off the arena floor where the light falls off. I still like shooting on manual so I was at F4@1/200th while the roper was behind the barrier and I’d spin the shutter dial to 1/320th as they went through the barrier for the run. I didn’t always get it right. I finally learned to bump it up to 320th when the cowboy gave the nod to release the calf -- while I had that split second -- instead of trying to do it on the fly.

I went for a little bike ride tonight on my ultra cool shopping bike. Found these barriers and decided to get a few shots. I set my camera up by the side of the road but had to keep one eye on the traffic coming up behind me as I was kinda in the road. Luckily the road wasn't busy.
A barrier that surrounds the nation's capitol is covered with melted snow. Even the concrete is ornate.
The barrier on one of the permanent sites in Co Durham has been pulled off. The residents have, for the last three nights, been harassed by the noise of cars driving at speed around the site in the early hours of the morning.
This is how most family outings end up , them either walking off or having to hang around for me and my camera , both options being demonstrated here
These hot autumn days bring misty midnights, and my whole home valley rises up into a river of fog. Contained between two shallow mountains, it flows far below, never spilling over, brought to earth beneath a high and weightless sky. Here I stand, between starshine and streetlight, where the orbs of earth try to break their way through barriers to blackness. I've been here before on evenings like these, one solitary soul on the lookoff, the closest I get to feeling like flying. Bridgetown doesn't make a sound, at least not one heard above the wind. Everything is sleeping, but I'm the widest awake in the world. Pale shimmers in the darkness, dreams in the near the distance. It's a strong sense of awe, there's nothing else you could honestly call it.
