Maybe it’s because I was influenced by grids in 1960’s and 70’s American painting and sculpture, or maybe it’s my family’s predilection for order and predictability, but fences attract me. I like the idea of superimposing a little man-made order on nature. BUT…
…me being me, fences are most interesting when they’re breached or interrupted, or when they’re met with disorderly conditions and do un-fency things.

Chain link fence casts shadows on a construction tarp and weeds join in the shadow dance:

A mangled wire fence lies in the woods, its grid criss-crossing shadows of nearby trees:
On a ferry, a fence blows in the wind behind glass set with a wire grid:

Very interesting, great eye
Thank you – thanks for stopping by & commenting –
Very creative! Nice gallery.
THanks Anne!
Something different! Great patterns in the first one
Having experienced the 60’s in the U.S., I always thought of fences negatively, Lynn. Still do, I guess. But I like how you have used them in these images and especially in the last.that seems to be smiling.
The lat one is smiling – yes – and thanks for the laugh about the 60’s and your view of fences. Mine here is strictly dealing with them as visual objects!
Very interesting twist indeed!
Nicely done and spotted.
That’s interesting points of view. I have always been following a “don’t fence me in” kind of motto.
Well, me too, but…like I said to someone above, it’s more a visual interest of mine. But there’s beauty in having a limitation, so you can creatively figure out ways around it, right?
I love the first and second images best! 😉
You certainly found some interesting fences! I especially love that chain link shot, fantastic light, shadow and color!
It was a perfect moment, light-wise – very late in the day. I was walking along a sidewalk next to a construction site, which is actually at the Botanical garden where I usually take photos. The photos of the construction site fence were some of the best shots of the day!
Great idea and interesting solution.
I like to take a different approach. Thanks for commenting – always good to hear from you.
Wow. I would say it is remarkable! you have captured the fences from you brilliant views. I love the first picture most which is very rich in color while others are also stunning!. Thank you for sharing, Blue.
Thank you – your thoughts are always appreciated, but you give me too much credit. 🙂
Well but it is really the fact. Never crossed in my mind to shot the fences from such good angles. one more credit, it is so inspiring! 🙂
I like the choice of theme and Ilike your interpretations, especially the second image.
