Taken on the Barrier Reef in 2005 on an Underwater disposable camera from Tesco! and scanned into the PC.
I have put them through photoshop to restore the colours, but I have not enhanced the colours.

Great swathes of decking in the Thames Barrier Park. Nice spot though, they do good coffee in the pavillion to.
The Thames Barrier is the world's second-largest movable flood barrier (after the Oosterscheldekering in the Netherlands) and is located downstream of central London. Its purpose is to prevent London from being flooded by exceptionally high tides and storm surges moving up from the sea. It needs to be raised (closed) only during high tide; at ebb tide it can be lowered to release the water that backs up behind it. Its northern bank is in Silvertown in the London Borough of Newham and its southern bank is in the New Charlton area of Charlton in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. The report of Sir Hermann Bondi into the North Sea flood of 1953 affecting parts of the Thames Estuary and parts of London was instrumental in the building of the barrier.
There was a fiesta of cycling in Dublin on Wednesday. Some streets were closed off to traffic using fancy car shaped barriers, as below.
The best bit was an outside screening of the bicycle-themed "Triplets of Belleville", where the projector was powered by dynamos from guys on bicycles!
Unfortunately, it had to be abandoned due to rain :(
Ineffective Barrier
24 January 2014 -- 24/365
Lincoln, Rhode Island
The single-digit deep freeze is continuing, so for today's photo I decided to visit Lincoln Woods State Park. Olney Pond has a solid layer of ice, and I was hoping to get out on the pond and get some closeups of folks ice fishing. There's only one problem. There were no ice fisherman to be seen. In fact, in all the time I was there, I only saw one other person in the park. What did catch my attention, though, was this "unsafe for skating" sign and the small wooden fence leaning against it. The signs are amusing in that they go up at the start of winter and they come down in the spring, but since they're never removed when it IS safe for skating the signs are effectively meaningless. What that small fence is for is anybody's guess. Overall the scene struck me as comical.
Post processing started with a classic filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, adaptive exposure, regions, contrast, boost black, boost white, and protect highlights. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.

Please go and listen to the song
"I thought the fight was over
All battles won
I thought you lit your blind folds
And watched them burn
I thought that I could show you
All that I've found
But these barriers dictate all sight and all sound"
Walls that we build ourselves are the hardest to break down. As much as you might long for a glimpse of the other side, it's often hard, if not impossible, to repair the damage that barriers can do.
Big thanks to Iain for helping out with this one.
