Humans have not changed their need for privacy over the years...the fences show this in detail.
In this one photo...a skip of multiple generations show a fence started in the early 1800's...and completed in the 20th century. Their was a need for the settlers to protect themselves from unknown intruders during the homestead period in the new world...there is a need today still to protect our property and our families from unknown intruders of a different sort but just as dangerous.
I am waiting for the day that both the old and the new fence can be torn down...I also realize that I am probably over optimistic.
Enjoy your Sunday!

I do love the look of fences and am drawn to photograph them but do not want one on my property unless it is to enhance my garden. Everyone is welcome here :)
Fences make great pictures but maybe the fence is to keep something in or maybe animals out of the garden.
No offence, ha-ha!

Eccentric Lady...you are ahead of the game! I like your openness!

Sunny...Only you are creative enough to come up with the pun..."No Offence"! I love your play on words.

I like pretty wooden fences around gardens and along walkways - but am not big on the privacy fences around yards. Although, with my love for dogs, I realize they are definitely necessary to keep miscreant pups in the yard sometimes :)
Heather...that is once good use for fences and I heartily agree.
