Fence on the Roof

 At the top of an older Newmarket home

Yesterday while my husband was taking a nap, I took a walk from the hospital to Main Street, Newmarket to see what I could find to photograph.

Looking over a fence to see a fence (Did you get that?)

I am linking to Good Fences HERE.

I agree. I would call it a widow's walk... that's assuming you can see the ocean from there !

What a charming home, is it near the water perchance?

The one on the roof is work of a craftsman.

I'm feeling a little fenced in. ;-)

That is an interesting design for a roof segment. I love your fence within a fence concept.

Those are awesome crafted fences and the house is beautiful! I was thinking widow's walk too atop the house! Now that is a unique fence for Good Fences! Cool!

You managed to double up on the fences, clever you. The house is really interesting.

What a cool photo! Wonder if anyone uses the top of the roof or if its just for decoration. Either way it's a beaut shot :D)

Lowell said...

That is quite a house! And 'tis well-fenced. I would love to explore this place; I'll bet there are a bunch of nooks and crannies full of interesting things!

Best wishes to you and your husband!

There was a widow's walk on the old farmhouse we moved from some years ago -- I find that structure fascinating. Great image. xo

That's a cool old house. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

Ruth Hiebert said...

The fences are great but what's even better is that you were able to get out and see a few things and have some fresh air.

i always want to see what's inside a victorian house. my curiousity gets stronger every day it seems.

Lisa Gordon said...

Nicely seen and captured, and what a beautiful old house this is!

RedPat said...

Great old house, EG! It's funny how blogging can be an escape for a bit when things are stressful but it does make you head out for a walk when you can and just occupy your mind a little. Hope the patient gets out of there soon.

Reminds me a little of that neighbor in Mary Poppins who thought he lived on a ship and put off a cannon every night!

Reminds me of my mother's apartment building.Gives a lot of charm to the structure.

I suppose the top level is only for decoration.

We have a shopping region called New Market.

very creative play on words. I wonder what the purpose is for the fence on the roof?

Pat Tillett said...

I got it, but I don't get it! I guess it's purely ornamental, right?
