Lines: fences, trees and even the cloudsAre you beginning to see a trend in my photos lately? I seem to be fixated on fences. And truly they do fascinate me, especially this time of year when they show up so well in the snow. They create lovely lines, as do the the trees at the edges of fields.

Farm fences in the snow---fascinating. We got snow overnight but it probably will be gone by tomorrow. Nothing like you show. beautiful shot. MB
ReplyDeleteAmazing photo, very nice composition
ReplyDeleteFences...
ReplyDeleteI remember fences and old fences in farmer fields that had grown twenty or more feet wide on each side. Making a sanctuary and habitat for wildlife, wild trees and berry bushes. It was filled with groundhogs, coyotes and foxes and rabbits, and pheasants. A wealth of wildlife.
Then, farmers stopped milking cows and planting tobacco and tomatoes and turned to corn, wheat and sybeans and they could only increase their income if they increased the dirt they plowed to plant in.
You guessed it...the fences and fence rows disappeared and all of the wildlife has had to find new homes are died in the process.

Don't fence me in.

The fences are lovely and I also like the soft color of the sky.
ReplyDeleteI love this hillside view of that dainty sky with the thinnest of clouds floating lightly overhead and as a stark contrast the wire fence in the foreground
ReplyDeleteLove this shot, I bet that same location makes for great pics as well in the summer.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

Such "orderly" beauty! Love the patterns of the fences!
ReplyDeleteA great sky watch capture, your winter photographs are all very good.
ReplyDeleteYes, I had noticed & if I had to guess, I'd say you're a clean lined person - meaning you don't like clutter & you like things organized! Am I right?
ReplyDeleteStark and dramatic, great composition! Beautiful shot! Doesn't get any better! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love your fences! And this shot! It looks as cold as it should wintertime, and the fence has a natural place in the photo. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely shot. Love the white and grey.
ReplyDeleteLovely! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat composition!
Seems the snow hasnt let up! but it shines with the sunshine! Happy SWF!
ReplyDeleteI have noticed your fence lines and they are really beautiful.

ReplyDeleteI love fences, I wish there were more fences I could photograph around here. Enjoy the weekend.
ReplyDeletethat is such a beautiful photo........just great
ReplyDeleteGill
Such open space, lovely. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWonderful - I love your fences.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - fences do hold a fascination for sure - especially as they trace through the snow like yours do in this shot. Very nice perspective . . .
ReplyDeleteThis is a beauty--don't know if you will know what I mean but it is so simple and clean. I love it.
ReplyDeleteYes you fancy fences! But that's a great thing: these photos are wonderful and the fences are beautiful lines.Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAnother fairytale photo... I imagine that the ice queen will soon come along on her majestic cart. Magnificent! I agree, fences do look fascinating on your photos. BEst wishes :)
ReplyDeleteI love the composition of this photo. And I agree - fances and the snow plains, there is something about them.
ReplyDeleteWonderful.
Happy skywatching and have a nice weekend.
They certainly do create lovely lines. Great shot!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome to chase with me anytime, but something tells me you're not interested. lol
I used to sing a song years ago in 4-H club:
ReplyDelete'Give me land, lots of land under starry skies above, don't fence me in' I remember it everytime I see a fence.
(Oh,I see Shammickite already beat me to that little ditty.)
Great shot!
They do create great lines in the photos. Looks cold there. Bless your heart hopefully it will warm up there soon.
ReplyDeleteOh I have really missed the snow this year and had to enjoy it virtually in such a beauiful wide open image.
ReplyDeleteIncredible shot that includes several fences and even barbed wire! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, wow. That's one of best photos I've seen recently...great lines streaking across the landscape. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThat picture is so clear I feel I could jump right into it.
ReplyDeleteMe again. I thought I'd pop back over and answer your question about what looks like steam or smoke in my shot. I don't know what it is. I thought it was jet stream but odd how it was going vertical instead or horizontal.
ReplyDeleteThis is one great skywatch photo.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful day you had! I love the lines!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo! I like the composition!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo! I like all the lines and angles.
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice picture on many levels, but the two strands of barbed wire in the foreground take it to a whole new level.
ReplyDeleteYou've out done yourself. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThe textures and lines are really wonderful here. Breath deep the cold, fresh air!
ReplyDeleteThe posts can look kind of like soldiers marching along.

such a stark beauty! Love the shadows of the trees... :) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love the fences in your photos! There is always so much to look at in yoru photos that I find them very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI also LOVE SNOW! We got some snow last night so that makes 18 tiems it snowed. It wa all gone by late morning tho. I almost missed it all because I did not wake up warly to see it when the alarm went off.
Fantastic shot! You're right about the fences and trees. Love the pale whites and blues too. Happy Sky Watching!
ReplyDeleteAh, less is more, and this most definitely is much more!
ReplyDeleteYou are not going to climb over those barb wires are you? My brother, then 10 years old had a coil of wire drop on his leg. I can still feel that pain.
ReplyDeleteLove the snow. It is not melting yet, is it?
This looks almost like a pen and ink drawing. I especially like the wire in the foreground,

Wow what else can I say XXX Don
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL PHOTO!!
ReplyDeletehave a nice weekend ;)
I agree. The way fencelines bisect and delineate a shot can really elevate a simple landscape into something special, as they do here.
ReplyDeleteNice composition Guy and I have a fixation with fence posts, so I understand!
ReplyDeleteInteresting the way the clouds seem to follow the same line as the hillside and fences. Beautiful shot!
ReplyDeleteGreat composed image!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend.
Ps. Now I am waiting for some night shots from Canada. ;)
Hi Ms. EG Guide, yes, you do like to take those fences. And you take good pictures.
ReplyDeleteAdi pulled my Kodak off the counter by the charging cord as she walked by. It was in the 9800's, about to roll over to 10K pictures.
My new Sony I got for last Christmas already has 6485 plus (that number was the Adi looking for squirrels picture.
Happy Skywatching, you saw that I am Looking at the Sky instead now.
