EOTB-128

I found a new path on today’s walk. It crossed the Birmingham Cross-city railway line, so I found a hole in the fence and had a look. I have no idea what this spiky, metal semi-circle is for, but there was one on the other side too. Passers-by gave me some odd looks as I tried desperately to get a decent shot, but I didn’t care - I was determined 😁

Great capture. Only a 365’r would understand!

It's to stop people who break through a fence going on the line!!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

neat!

I hope ordinary trespassers aren't as unknowing as you!

[Pat Knowles]

How strange but perhaps @30pics4jackiesdiamond has the answer but I wouldn’t have guessed!

@wakelys Thanks Susan. I think you may be right 😊

[Lesley]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond @happypat Thanks both. Still, it made for some nice shapes and patterns, imho.

[Lesley]

@koalagardens Thank you.

[Lesley]

@anniesue Thanks for that. I guess I just don’t have a criminal mind.

Great composition and pov. The only benefit of the pandemic is that we get to know our surroundings thoroughly.

[Lesley]

@haskar Thank you very much. You are absolutely right. We’ve lived here 19 years and it has taken this pandemic for me to discover local country lanes, lakes, parks etc that I didn’t know existed.

That is really cool!

[Wendy]

That spiky, metal semi-circle is for you to use as an excellent leading line down the track!
Excellent composition!

Crikey! Very spiky! A good find!

[Phil Howcroft]

the spiky bit is to stop "jumpers" an occupational hazard for may drivers

nice shot btw

[Korcsog Károly]

Great shot!
