FRIDAY, MY TOWN SHOOT OUT: FENCES

The gateway to the fence shootout.


The fence to keep the lake viewers away from the edge of the cliff.


The fence to keep the cougar away from the zoo visitors.


The fence to keep the sculpture, "Searchlight, Starlight, Spotlight - John McEwen, 1999" protected.


The fence to help the horses keep following the trail.


The fence to keep the traffic up on the bridge.


The pretty picket fence to hide the ugly trash containers.


The fence to keep the traffic from running off the roadway.


"Wait a minute! Don't fence ME in!"


Thank you for visiting the shoot out of our town fences. See you next time.

  1. Great shootout, such a variety of fences, all busy doing their jobs. I'd love to walk along the one keeping people from the cliff someday.
    A relaxing weekend to you both!

  3. Yep you hit a lot of them. It was interesting how the fences tell so many stories. Today is my daughter's birthday I will do my FSO on tomorrow.

  10. I love the intro to your fences. It added such intrigue as well as the iron gate. I really like the horse trail fence and the bridge. You have a really nice variety going on in here.

  14. Lots of variety here. Is the fence around the sculpture temporary? I enlarged that photo for a closer peek and it looks like they're doing some work on it; I hope that's the reason for that fence!

  15. Yes Kerry, it is a temporary fence to protect the sculture while they are adding an additon onto the building next door.

  16. As usual this was a great theme, and how each of us posted almost entirely different ideas and shots, and your play pen is a great addition!

  17. good job the two of you. there are so many fences that we don't even realize are fences until the FSO points them out to us. I double clicked the sculpture cause I wanted to see for sure they were fencing in an artwork. looks lice a plaza under construction. see you next week.

  21. What a beautiful gate your shootout post has. Where is it?

  22. My favorite is the cliff edge - I like the wilderness on the other side!

  24. Sandra, the gate is at the back of the Guild Inn in Scarborough.

    About a kilometer from our home.

  26. A great selection of fences, amazing how many uses there are for them. Even the one to keep the baby in.

  27. I see the significant of having the same gate photos in the beginning and the end. It looks like entrances to a big old manor.

    I stay with my bro who lives on a brivate island, and there is a gate that require you to know the code or you need to know the house number to call the house before they will let you in.
