Weekly Black and White Challenge ending 8pm Wed. 29th Jan 2020 - Barriers or hindrances

(Cue Mission Impossible music)
Your challenge, this week, should you decide to accept it, is to photograph a barrier or hindrance of some kind. Railway crossing gates, gate to a field, police tape round a murder scene, child safety gate, a great big pile of stones across a path, barring progress, a very big puddle....the list goes on.
NOT locks unless they are on a canal, weirs - yes.
Try to get creative, not just take a record of the scene...brownie points are at stake.
This message will not self-destruct in four seconds, so you can come back and read it again - although I have no idea why you would...
Rules, regulations and laws:
1. The challenge is just for fun.
2. All images must be taken after the theme is announced.
3. All images must be uploaded by 8pm on Wednesday
4. All uploads must be B&W (or sepia toned)
5. Only one upload per member
6. The person who hosts is the judge for that week challenge and the judge’s decision is final
7. The winner gets to create, run and judge the challenge for the following week
8. Have fun
9. Don't get in anyone's way or hinder them...

Will my camera self destruct 10 secs after taking the shot
Only if you bought the suicidal version...or if you accidentally sit or stand on it, but that might not be classified as self-destruction...

Quality has certainly taken prioity over quantity this week, so although the numbers are low, the decision is no easier for that.
Four widely varying interpretations on the theme...
Dave - I wouldn't like to try sliding down that rail -cit would most certainly bring tears to the eyes!
Phil - the eternal question of how to keep a determined squirrel away from the food it is determined to reach - they are clever little buggers!
Eddie - oh, what a surprise...a selfie...but what a good one! An imaginative interpretation indeed!
IL (all hail!) - probably the most classic example of the entries of the theme - definitely no mistaking the 'do not pass' message there!
About a fair amount of perusal, I feel the baton should be handed on to Chris (slowsong) for her entry thi....oh, 'ang on, that can't be right, erhhmm,...back in a mo...
