Good Fences #8

Wow this month has been "flying" by so quickly.  I have been super busy (lots of work in the flower beds) and have had little time for blogging. :o(
Anyway I wanted to join in on Good Fences hosted by Theresa from, (The Run-a-Round Ranch Report) today.

My fence is a pretty common fence around here.  I've seen several homes with this same type of fencing.  I rather like it though and loved the way this fence curves around the yard.  I've included a color photo (this was taken last fall) and also converted the photo to black and white.  Which is your favorite?

Now for the Black/White version.



I've got company today so I may not get around to your blog right away but I will find time to visit as I hate to miss out on the fun.

    I am more of a color person so I probably prefer the color version ... but then, the BW is good too, so can I be indecisive? Enjoy your conpany and don't worry about being to busy to blog ... Blogging is a choice, an option and you are free to come an go as you please ... even if we do miss your posts :)

    I like how the fence curves, and actually, I like both versions of your photo too. B&W has a charm all its own.

    It may be common there, but definitely not around here. Really is a pretty, blue one.

    Both images are really nice, but I like the colored one a bit more. To me it has a bit more atmosphere.

    They both evoke such different feelings. The color picture says "How pretty!" and the black and white says "Ooo, spooky." Love it!

    Well Ida, I'm usually a fan of B&W, but in this instance the blue and green together reduce the contrast in monochrome. And that blue is so dreamy...

    So hard to decide. I like both. I spent some time in Oaxaca, Mexico years ago photographing the "rejas." Love wrought iron.

    That's an elegant fence! I like both images, but the B&W shows off the contour of the fence better.

    What a unique fence. I like both, but the colored one is quite stunning.

    They both look great, Ida, but my favourite is the coloured one. It's got a great retro look to the colour. Maybe you've used a special filter or some technical wizardry to achieve the effect. Either way it's a very attractive fence. All the best, Bonny

    Ooo -- I prefer the color image quite a bit. LOVE the blue, and the yellow in the background. That's a beautiful fence! We don't have many like that here, b/c we are so rural. More barbed wire and such. City fences can be so elegant.

    Wow, Ida, I can hardly believe such a beautiful type of fence is common where you live. The blue color is super duper. Are they mostly all blue?

    Loving the sculptural look of the B/W version Ida! :) That reminds me, I wanted to build a little fencing on either side of my vegetable bed. This would be perfect.

  45. CarlettaMay 16, 2014 at 8:41 PM

    Each one has wonderful merits. I like the first for the color and light and the second one highlights the form of the fence.
    A lovely find!

    Your fence is so beautiful. I definitely like the color one because it's not as common and the color is very pretty.

    Love the vignette and I lean a bit more to the color one. But that fence is just so nice to begin with, that it's hard to decide.

    I like both the color and the B&W but give the color a little nudge. Love the background with the soft bokeh on that one.
