Friday Shoot Out - FENCES

I am so sorry, I have had an eventful week this week and as a result, haven't been able to get shooting. However, I have rummaged through my archive!

Above is a picture taken on the mountain in Llanarmon. You can just about make out the fence and the old gate.
Taken in the summer in Erddig Estate. The fence is made of iron and much nicer than the wire ones we see so frequently these days.


The geese at the Equestrian Centre where the boys ride. Fences will be made out of anything you can find, in this case an old gate held together with baling twine.


My favourite place, Erddig Hall. This doorway leads into the formal gardens from the working courtyard.



A very nice gate and fence from Erddig Hall. This is the old entrance to the Hall.




Poppy, Pickles and Wilbur in Darland Woods just 5 minutes walk from my house. You can see the reflection of the fencing on the woodland floor.

  1. I like you composition. Most of us have weeks when we can't make it. Today, Friday is my daughter's birthday. This is my priority. I will post my FSO on Saturday. Good job.

  3. Thank goodness for archives. Sometimes the best ones are in there. Me too I've been rushing from thing to thing, or holed up trying to keep warm instead of out scouting fences (or birds).

    My favorite is the evening snow over the countryside.

  13. Sara, never apologize when you post shots like that. When I looked at the first one I thought it was an oil painting. The others were terrific, as well.

  14. These are wonderful pictures, every one. That first one has an eerie unusual light, and the second one, enlarged, is just gorgeous (those water droplets!) And as usual I am a sucker for pictures with dogs.
