A very appropriate color for this bollard, it is at the entrance to a fire extinguisher company. This is on Grote Street.

I probably walked past this great looking marine bollard many times but it was hidden by an events tent or the picnic bench. This is on the Central Wharf.

How about a couple of huge indoor bollards today, these are in a parking garage and protect the incoming traffic from a turning lane. These are about 4 feet high and have steel loop on top for easy moving by a high lift. There are also some standard pipe bollards on the island behind them that protect the ticket and arm apparatus. This is the Adams Ramp on Washington St.

With the onset of winter it is just about time for the New York Power Authority to begin installing the boom across the mouth of the Niagara River in Lake Erie. This prevents the ice from going down river and creating a jam at the water intakes for the Power Project. The boom is stored on property by the Buffalo River, the tugs pull the boom sections down river and connect them together in the lake.

These are really not bollards in the true sense but they do function as good looking lights along a pathway at Roswell Park on Virginia St.

This combination bollard/light is in a nice little pocket park on Swan and Pearl Streets.

Another nice find, an old disused hydrant. This is on Roseville St. off of Larkin St. outside of an Alp Steel warehouse.

These simple and functional bollard/lights are at the entrance to a theatre on Washington St. St. Michaels Place t-bones right into the entrance so the doors needed a little protection.

A very neat looking cone shaped door bollard on a building on Illinois St. There are some good looking older buildings in this part of the waterfront.

Here are some very nice looking bollards. A nice ball on top of an ornate post. These are smaller than most bollards but still a nice size for the location. These are on North St.

Here is a very nice upping stone I found on Prospect Ave. It looks to be carved out of granite. I suspect it was moved here because it is placed on the front lawn by the sidewalk. If it was original it more than likely would have been near the street for passengers disembarking from their carriages.

Here is a set of nice corner bollards protecting a gate on Cleveland Ave. The wall was once part of the John J. Albright estate

Who says bollards should be black or yellow, this stands out pretty good. It is protecting a hydrant at the entrance to a warehouse. This is on Elmwood Ave.
