Just like a castle in ruins, a fence still trying to stand tall and be noticed. It’s twisted timber may no longer be a
barrier but the beauty of it’s aged life can be appreciated and reflected
upon. What tales could it tell?

I have a niggly feeling that, in reality, that fence and its surroundings look pretty ramshackle, damp and, frankly, well - ordinary. What you have done is seen that it needn't be so - which is a gift in itself - and taken an extraordinary photo. Nice one, Chel.
ReplyDeleteLoving the extraordinary in the ordinary. Keep them coming. Love the fact they reflect the time of year too.
ReplyDeleteHello Chel,
ReplyDeleteNice shot of this old fence.
I think there must come a new one.
Many greetings,
Marco
What a great photo. Well done for spotting it.
ReplyDeleteNice photo! It looks as though it is bravely trying to resist the inevitable !
ReplyDeleteThat's good enough for a poster or framed print. Nice work there Chel.
ReplyDeletePet sweet little Tia for me. Hope your day is blessed. ~:)
Wonderful photo! You have such a gifted eye to spot beauty where others would just see an old fence.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, stunningly beautiful---the silvery tones of a fading photograph found in a forgotten book.
ReplyDeleteThink of the windswept days, the rains and changes of season, the work-worn hands which built it, the openings and closings of the gate and climbings of the stile---what a calendar portrayed in tones of grey.
Will someday all mankind be gone, with our mathoms and STUFF, and naught but fences etched upon the landscape left to mark our passing?

Chel,
ReplyDeleteYou have the vision to see past the obvious and see the beauty.

Think of the people and animals that this fence has seen pass by. So many stories it could tell. And the tree from which is made - it's history could go back a hundred more years!
ReplyDeleteI think some renovation is necessary, beautifull photo!
ReplyDeleteIn a strange way your photo has brought the fence back to life giving it a beauty of its own.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo . Beauty in it's own way . Thanks for sharing , Have a good day 1
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and very thoughtful! xx
ReplyDeleteCould we be kindred spirits? I love to look at old things and wonder what kind of stories they could tell. I'm wondering about the cattle it perhaps kept in.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous picture and lovely thoughts, Chel.
ReplyDeletexo,

Looks great in black and white!
ReplyDeleteIt joins the ranks of those discarded for a younger model :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is super neat looking. - You should link it to Good Fences.
ReplyDeleteAh- the ravages of time.....a beauty all its own! Lovely capture, Chel.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of my visits up north to my aunts house... Nice w/love Janice
ReplyDeleteI love anything old, weathered and falling down.
ReplyDeletehi chel! it's a beauty. :) the good fences link-up is open for a day and a 1/2 (it opens thursday morning texas time and runs to friday evening - and i think we're about a 1/2 day behind your schedule). i hope you'll link this in next week! :)
ReplyDeleteHi darling Chel !
ReplyDeleteWell, when I see old things and also old building I say to myself:"What tales could it tell" and maybe are just those tales that enchant me so very much !
Thank you my sweet friend, have a most beautiful end of your week,
Dany
You've now preserved that fence for all time, by photographing it so beautifully!
