Presenting: Cat on a Handrail
Cat-handrail

The internet has a love for cats and I share mainly pictures of different handrails and railings. We’ve seen wavy banisters, which I’m hopeful will soon turn into a project with a wooden banister. I’ve shared lots of pictures of railings at sunset or sunrise or with the light just so. and of course plenty of Mountain Laurel Handrail.
But this is the first pic I’ve shared of a cat on a handrail.
And I know how much the internet loves cats.

Here is a beautiful shot of an outdoor railing. I’m not sure where it is but it seems to be high in a tower looking back down towards the earth. I really like the geometric nature of this composition especially the way that the sun casts the shadow of the pattern of the railing grid on the textured metal walkway. It’s really a beautiful piece!

I love this picture of outdoor railings. It has an old world appeal of nostalgia and decay. Alright, so I know that might not be the most appealing thing, there is a certain mood that is created by the dilapidated building, broken handrail, water and ships at port. The black and white photography adds to the emotional impact of this outdoor railing.
