Welcome to my Bollards of Buffalo Blog. Bollards come in many shapes and sizes and are used in many different locations to control the flow of traffic, protect buildings and other structures, they are also used in harbors to tie up marine vessels. I will be posting on a regular basis but not every day. I will be searching out all areas of Buffalo in the coming days. I will also post photos that are not Bollards but will be historic or interesting. I hope you will enjoy the Blog.

Not the best quality picture but I am posting it because of the story behind it. This is a skydiver landing in Delaware Park as part of the commemoration of the War of 1812. Skydivers landed with Canadian and American flags near the spot where 300 soldiers are buried. Most died after a harsh winter and lack of provisions. They were from the Flint Hill Encampment not far from the meadow used as a final resting place.
