Okay, technically it's not a fence. It's a railing on a bridge. But it sure looks like a fence here, built to corral and hold back that wild sky!
Like many of the Central Line stations on the Epping branch & the Hainault loop, Barkingside was originally on the Great Eastern Railway. There is something quaint and rural about these stations. It's like going back to the pre-Beeching days when the country was covered with little branch lines and village stations.
This is Redbridge Underground Station towards the eastern end of the Central Line and a first visit for me. It is not photographed much but I found it is one of the rare few where both lines can be seen from a central platform. There is a central wall separating the platform but with frequent gaps giving the chance for this sort of shot with a wide angle lens. The other interesting thing is that it is one of only 4 stations I think with platform clocks where the face has been designed with mini London Underground Roundels in place of numbers. The others are Gants Hill, Wantage and Bethnal Green also on the Central Line. One qualification is that as I did not have time to wait for 2 moving trains the one on the left was added later in processing.
Apart from the central platform and the clocks Redbridge is a fairly ordinary station and I went for a fairly gritty look in processing which I thought suited it better. The picture was taken with a Sony A68 with a Sigma 10-20 wide angle zoom at 10mm. 3 images for HDR. The image was first processed with Photomatix 6 using Fusion Natural for a natural look. The minus 2 EV image was copied in as a new layer and a layer mask used to apply it to bring more detail into the highlights. Next the 0EV image was processed in RAW using Capture One and in Photoshop flipped and copied in to the main image. A black layer mask removed it and white brush brought it back in for the train on the left only. Duplicate layer and Topaz Adjust applied for a Gritty look. Topaz DeNoise was also used. I used cloning in some areas to tidy up. Extra punch and clarity using unsharp mask 40 amount and 40 radius on the trains and clocks only using a layer mask.

I've been to the Blue Lotus Watergarden a couple of times before. There are some rainbow coloured large umbrellas that groups use to pose on this red bridge. But at this time the bridge was just reflecting itself. HFF

South Thompson River
Kamloops, B.C.
I've always loved this old wooden bridge. Yes, that's wood even though it may look like metal in this shot. It was the first bridge across the river when it was built in 1890 and has been rebuilt twice since. The last iteration was built in 1936 and survives today, albeit with the reinforcing of four steel piers.
It's not clear how it came to be known as the Red Bridge but it's always been called that. The pedestrian walkway that was added on the far side of the bridge was painted red a few years ago.
In the churchyard of St.Mary the Virgin Church, Wanstead. I loved the almost romantic way the ivy was just curled around the statue's neck.
