underwater railing

Here is a cool picture that I found showing a company's underwater railing installation. This is a real neat picture and I love the distortion in the frame. This handrail is installed in a Caribbean resort and allows tourists and visitors easy access to the water so that they can play and enjoy their stay near a sandy beach and palm trees.

Bubble Stair Railing

This stair railing is a wonderful work of art for the home. The organic shapes of this staircase remind me of bubbles floating through the air. The guard rail must be some sort of structural metal as it also supports the stairs which are a natural finish, light colored wood tread. This staircase is a striking visual element in what must be a fabulously designed and articulated mansion. See more pictures at Trendir

outdoor railings

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.
