They are quite historical and also denote the limits of whatever. If the gates are open c'mon in, if not well maybe the owners prefer privacy.

In my first posting it is based on history and culture and they could be an icône for in this Province, not sure. Anyway in the late autumn the cowswould be hered back into the barns and the farmer would take down the fence, leaving th posts and this was to protect them from winter weathr. Come spring, back up they go and out come the cows for the summer. Now these fences are made from cedar trees and have a life expectancy of up to a hundred years.

Now I am also working on a Challenge for January, ''Subjects with Changes''. I mention it now because if you are interested and have spare time, it could be fun. Take subject and shoot in different weather, different lighting, different angles or whatever else you might care to do, but keeping the main subject always there. If you have any questions, PM me.

Have fun

Farmer's walls are a different kind of fence and are ubiquitous throughout New Hampshire. Consensus is that these walls were built not as boundaries but to prevent sheep from wandering about. A good question is why these walls were built from rocks and not lumber as both are plentiful in the Granite State. Perhaps the Yankee desire for hard work and durability is the answer. By the way, it's actually been recorded that in the first half of the 19th century approximately 800,000 to 1 million sheep were being raised between New Hampshire and Vermont.

Around here, many of the rocks used for walls and houses are a product of land clearing - lots of rocks left behind by the glaciers.

The second one..like it very much. The first one tho, what is the construction history? I have seen photos of these types of fences before but always wondered on the reason for this type of construction. Thanks tommy


Saves digging post holes?

Something else with a reason. These green fences are put up all over the place around here to protect hedges and bushes from the town's snowblowers. (It costs a fortune to spend winters up here LOL)


And we use them to control blowing snow where it might drift over the road, from which they are set back by maybe 30 feet. Oh - and I said I never heard of fences being removed for the winter - these ones are removed for the summer
