Good Fences #120 - White Stone Wall

Welcome! - I've been absent from the blog for a few days but am back today for GOOD FENCES hosted by Theresa (The Run-a-round Ranc Report)


Just down the street from us is a White Stone wall/fence that I find very interesting to photograph.
 

This shot shows the gate that is on one end of the wall.  I think it has a "medieval" look to it.

 
In this shot you can see the lovely flowering tree that drapes over it in the spring.
 
 
Finally I captured a view of the wall through another fence on a vacant lot.  I like how the roses blooming in the overgrown yard are visable through the opening of the fence.
 



Hope you have enjoyed my fences today.  Have a wonderful day.

    Those roses really do stand out! I wish that last shot did not remind me of my garden! I work at those weeds, but they always come back...I guess they are a wonderful (Well, not so wonderful) example of resilience! Also enjoyed your photos of the stone wall.

    Das Tor und der Rest geben Raum für Phantasie. Schöne Fotos. Die Pflanze mag ich auch sehr. Schwarzer Holunder?

    i like the lines and shapes in the first one and the second is just beautiful to see, and the last is really interesting looking through one to see the other

    Looks very solid, Ida.

    I can imagine a small medieval army defending the fortress.

    That is a serious fence and gate; I would have to wonder what is hidden behind. I like the peep into the overgrown yard. Nice shot.

    Handsome stone fence indeed . . .
    Nice to get the flowering tree as it draped over the wall.
    And the "peek of the roses" through the fence . . .
    Very nice . . .
