We don't see many of this type of barbed wire fence around here anymore. I suppose it's because farms have grown larger it isn't necessary to fence off their property. It is still used where farmers have cows and horses, but most of them have wooden fences.
Thanks for stopping and have a great weekend.
I won't be around much this weekend so I'll catch up with you next week.
Until next time

Love that wide open space!
We have a lot of old fences like this. These days they use some kind of tape like fencing that I deplore. :)
I'd much rather see the rustic wood and barbed wire.
Wire fences are some of my favorites and the first shot is gorgeous!
another lovely rural scene Barb; enjoy your weekend too
like the lines and composition of teh first shot. :) Great they still had that fence.
Hi Barb, what a lovely rural scene. Great capture! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
I love these pics. Hope you have a good weekend.
Fantastic photo. Love the pile of barbed wire.
We still have barbed wire fencing around our property that my dad and grandfather put up back in the fifties. In some places it has grown into the trees..
Have a great weekend Barb!
Linda foto!beijos,lindo dia!chica
i love the angles there. great shots. (:
such big open spaces, love it!
I too like the look of barbed wire fence, Barb.
and it seems we have nothing but here in texas. :)
Beautiful photos Barb. I love the wide open space of field and sky and the rusty fence. The close up of the post and roll of barbed wire is great!
I love that first capture, with the harvested corn field!!!
I wonder why they used two or three new iron posts to shore up the wooden one...
Great composition on both shots Barb...
I love the 'roll' of barbed wire on the ground where the farmer left off fencing.
Love it! Looks like the fence I'll be posting soon that we saw on a drive out in the desert!
Having grown up in the Midwest, these old fences with the barbed wire were common sights. I remember my Dad parting the wires so I could carefully go to the other side. And him showing me how to part the wires without stabbing myself which would result in a doctors visit for a tetnus shot if I were over due.
Brought back lots of memories!

Agree with Carletta--that wide first shot is just grand--wide open spaces with just the sky and that lone fence line running across the land. This could be a good tourism photo!
That makes a notice of barbs. huh.
We have some of these too, and like yours, most are falling down. They sure do make an interesting photo.
Yes, I did see your Morman Row barns. I love that you captured the whole scene, including all the photographers. It was really fun seeing it through your eyes. I know these are some of the most photographed barns, but every photo is a bit different.
making wire look beautiful!!
Interesting phots of the two. fences.
I like.
I LOOVE that first shot...just looks like it goes on forever!
There's lots of that barbared wire here in the south. Nice photos!
You definitely know how to photograph wire fencing! I love seeing some of the old fencing like this around Calgary. A lot of people would consider it trash, but to me it becomes a part of the scenery.
If, for some reason, we do not notice the barbed-wire wrapped around the top edge of the fence and actually challenge a boundary, it is important to take in and accept the fact that this person’s fear/anxiety about being vulnerable and losing control in relationships will do us harm.
