| The Collection Fence |
The metal hair pin lookin' thing close up on the right is an old gate hinge. Back in the day, it was hard to get hinges like we use now. The two straight edges were bolted to the fence post (there would be one at the bottom of the gate and one at the top), and the gate was built so the gate edge closest to the fence had a post that sat on a rock and the post swiveled in the round part of the metal. We see them quite often still in use today; they stand the test of time.
I'm linking up with Skywatch Friday and Jan and Jer's Friday Fences blog hop...come on along!
Great idea and interesting post. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteWe do the same thing -- better than running over it with the tractor. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting fence! Love how you captured it and the sky! Very nice.
ReplyDeleteLovely angle there. Looks an amazing place to go for a ride - off to look at some more of your posts and dream of the day I grow up to be a cowboy!
ReplyDeleteWe do that with the old horseshoes but I try to tack all the other "stuff" onto the side of the chicken coop! LOL!! Love the angle and that beautiful blue sky!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting shot...and I Love the angle it is shot from.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo! Interesting way to deal with the junk.
ReplyDeleteNice perspective and I'm jealous of that blue sky.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting shot - amazing the things you manage to find in the ground! Lots of horseshoes, I see!
ReplyDeletewow, sounds like it keeps your life interesting. finding all the great finds. neat. (:
ReplyDeleteLove the collection fence. We've made wreaths before from old horseshoes.
ReplyDeleteHi Gtyyup, looks pretty your way. We have a collection of stuff found over the years, a little left by those before us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, and the shot is awesome.
ReplyDeleteNow thats cool..:-)
ReplyDeleteNow this is fun--see who can unearth the most interesting object for the collection fence. A little rivalry is not out of the question, right? :-) In the country where I grew up people would stick interesting colors and shapes of bottles and glass on fence pickets for a bit of "yard art".
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool photo! I can see some beautiful country on the other side of that fence!!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture of a really neat, ranchy looking fence! That first heel/toe shoe looks huge! Have a great weekend as well!
ReplyDeleteWonderful. I love a find like this!
ReplyDeleteVERY interesting! We have a couple of rusty old horseshoes on our front step by some rocks. :)
