Just a look back at a much more calm day. This is the China Lighthouse at the entrance to the Buffalo River.

These very modern door bollards belong to the entrance at Rotary Rink. This is where you can sit and change into your skates or buy a hot chocolate after skating. In the summer it is cool reflecting pond and in the winter a very nice place to skate the day away

Here is a very nice marine bollard that stands out with the yellow paint job. This is along the Erie Canal. The white bollard above it is a combination tie up and power source for docking boats.

I just wanted to highlight the USS Little Rock that is a staple at the Naval and Military Park on the Buffalo River. Two very large marine bollards keep the ship anchored. The port anchor is on display at the park.

Here is a nice set of bollards protecting some widows along Washington St at Roswell Park. Notice how they had to cut one shorter than the others so the fire standpipe could be accessed.  

In some future posts I will be featuring the many gates that were built to protect large homes or are simply ornamental in nature.

This gate is will be very familiar to those of you that live in the area. It is on Franklin and Edward St's. The large gargoyle's that are placed on the top of gate posts are pretty cool.

Here is a set of fence bollards along North St. There is some very nice detail on them including the pineapple, a longtime symbol of hospitality.
