Snake Rail Fence

This fence is on  the apple orchard property where the big white barn is that I showed in my Barn Charm post.

i am loving that fence! if it didn't take up so much room, and be so difficult to mow near, i'd love one as charming as that! :)

The barn was beautiful and this really wonderful fence surrounded by land makes me think the whole area must be quite lovely.

That's a beautiful fence--it fits right into the countryside as if it just grew there.

How old is this fence, Barb? Looks like it has been around for a long time. Thankfully, because it's so right for this setting. We have a version of this fence in KY that we call split rail, used on farms even back in 1800s.

Oh, I love this fence. Normally I shy away from anything "snake" but this one is a beauty!

Nice Barb!! I love how the tree branches are totally wild...going every direction and the fence then gives the photos a bit of symmetry to balance it all.
