Stone Fence

My  fence for Friday Fences is a stone fence at an old cemetery in New Hampshire.  These pictures were taken October 2011.





Look at the old tomb stones.







Joining Life According to Jan and Jer for Friday Fences

Have a great weekend everyone.


Until next time.

What a treasured placed. I like old cemeteries, I think the craftsmanship that was put into them is splendid. Not to mention the history. Louisiana has some nice architectural ones.

I love rock walls/fences....would love to have one of my own. And did you notice the hinge on the gate? I bet it was homemade...

Cemeteries are so interesting to me. Some of my family think I'm nuts. Thanks for sharing this one!

Cheryl @ TFD said...

I've never seen a stone fence like that...nor a cemetery as old as that one! Very interesting!

Barb, this is a great post of the old stone fence around the cemetery.
Makes me thing of Europe and how they used stone and bushes to make fences.
Love the gate entrance.
Have a great weekend.

These photos just shout New England. Love the way different parts of the country "interpret" stone fences/walls. Kentucky's are quite different from these. October is a wonderful time to be in New England.

Liz said...

Great images! I'm glad I'm not the only one who takes photos in cemetary.
