Rustic or posh, a fence is a statement of cultures that value ownership and control. They say, “Mine, not yours”, “Here, not there”, “Out, not in”.
Are those interfaces places of conflict? Have you seen statements of protest placed on fences or boundaries? Or perhaps statements of love? (I don’t have any images of padlocks with lovers’ messages, but I know they’re out there.)

Great examples!
Love the first one!
Thanks!
Welcome!
These birds are posing on this mesh fence. Great images. Anita
Thanks!
Wonderful examples Priscilla. I wish I’d had some of those love lockets on a fence images but I’ve never seen them first-hand. Your images are beautiful this week.
Thanks, Tina! I’m thinking someone’s post will have those locks. 😉
Interesting fences. What is the purpose of the cloths tied to the one at Wounded Knee?
I think it’s a type of memorial to those buried there, like leaving flowers. Thanks for hosting this one, Dawn! 🙂
Thank you.
Great closeups. Excellent.
Thanks, John!
Engaging images, and now I wish I had done two posts after seeing and reading yours. I do have pictures of love locks in a variety of places. The do create controversy as some think of them as graffiti. I love them anyway. I love the feature photo of the fence post and the one from the perimeter of Wounded Knee. Yes, fences are more often than not…statements.
Thanks, Donna. A good subject for contemplation.
Nice interpretation and food for thought. Super images.
Thanks, Anne!
😊
Perfect as usual, Priscilla. Love especially the first one and Wounded Knee.
Thanks, Ann-Christine!
