Thanks to everyone who checked out and participated in last week’s challenge of Vegetables.  The turn-out was great and the entries were interesting and innovative!  It’s hard to believe that we’re ready to hit the 10th iteration of this challenge!

This week, I’m turning to something that we see everwhere around the world, which can really tell us something about its purpose: Fence.  Ranging from the proverbial, and sometimes literal, white picket fence to mark our garden boundary to electric fence to keep cattle contained and decorative wrought iron fence around a churchyard.

The choices are many, so I’m counting on you to put together something really creative and pleasing to the eye.  Here’s a simple sample of a fence image from a couple of years ago…

The Lone Fence

What caught my interest with this fence were the texture contrast between snow and fence, as well as the shadows and the fact that it was standing all alone.  For extra credit, can you tell me the function of this fence?

For those who’d like to participate in this weekly challenge, the rules are the following:

  • Write a post with an image for this week’s topic
  • Please tag your post with fpj-photo-challenge (if you’re not sure about how tags work, please check out this WordPress article about tagging posts)
  • Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week
  • Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!

I am looking forward to your creative entries this week to see what fences catch your eye!

  1. Lovely photo……..

    1. Thank you very much!

  2. Yes, a very interesting picture for its sense of isolation in the snow. Should I climb over it or walk round it? I suspect this is a training hurdle, perhaps for dogs!

    1. Hmm. Interesting conjecture, but a bit tall for a dog. You are on the right track, though not jumping.

  3. Lovely photo and looking forward to this theme! 🙂

    1. I figured that you wouldn’t be on the fence about this one 🙂

      1. 🙂 Ha! Nope. The only issue here will be in editing myself. 🙂

      2. Just bring it on 🙂

      3. You got it! 🙂

  4. Cool! Love this photo. Is it training for dogs or horses? Not sure for what purpose, yet it seems like it could be something like that.
    I start a spiritual conference tomorrow night, so I’m not 100% sure I’ll be able to participate in this week’s challenge. I’m going to do my best, Frank! I do have an idea already, so we’ll see. (the Conference goes from early morning to late in the day!) Blessings. 🙂

    1. Thank you, Debbie. Have a great conference! Given the weekend, I will probably do the round-up later on Monday to give folks a bit of extra time. You can always enter late.

      The fence is actually for sheep herding, as dog and handler have to drive the flock around the fence.

  5. I was going to use the guy who buys all my stolen property, but he refuses to be photographed for some reason. Guess I’ll go with a traditional fence for this one

    1. LMAO! I figured you might put a fence on the fence, if he wasn’t sure about being photographed anywhere but the post office 🙂

      1. Good call 😁
