Winter Fences
The world is still white here, and will be for a long time yet. We're forecast to get the coldest days of the winter this weekend, with potential wind chills of -40°C! I'm turning increasingly to photograph the rural landscape as much as the winter season (you can only take so many pictures of white snow), and you can often accomplish from the car window - frozen fingers are one of the hazards of winter photography around here. Hence my pictures of fences and barns, and coming up in the future some other interesting buildings.
It was a brilliant sunny day when I photographed this fence and it's shadow on a modern beef farm.
An older fence, but still effective at keeping the cattle in.
Quite a few different fences in this picture, but they work for the livestock on this farm.
I like this fence, disappearing far to the back of the field, partly because I see it every time I drive into town, so now I can mentally picture this view in all seasons. The heifers will be back in the field on the left in a few months.
All these relatively modern fences are the paddocks on a large horse farm a short distance north of here.

Wonderful winter photos. Love all the shadows.
ReplyDeleteThe fencelines really stand out in the snow!
ReplyDeleteYesterday, I so loved the avenue of the ski trail , and today the fences are all super. A change to bare white snow, they give an added perspective to what might be plain whiteness all over.
ReplyDeleteAll such great fences! I am not looking forward to the temps this weekend so the car sounds like a good idea although I usually walk most paces.
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome photos and fences! The snow really allows the fences to stand out more than other times of the year, so there is an advantage to taking these photos in winter. :)
ReplyDeleteYou really hit the jackpot on fences this week. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteLove those fences. I also really hope you'll be showing me pictures of these places when you don't have snow on the ground. :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the fence shadows in your first pic. Wish you could send some of that white stuff and cold temps our way. :)
ReplyDeleteI think you're brave to even go out in the car in those temperatures!

Great winter fence pictures. One might not even notice these in the summer! My favorite is the first one with the blue shadows from the fence. My hubby would love that three car garage on the house in the background!
ReplyDeleteSome really nice winter fences you have captured. Second is my favorite.
ReplyDeletelove these! love the ribbony shadows, too.
ReplyDeleteDid you head out to Uxbridge area or Stouville way. They are all similar barns and scenery as real wonderful takes in the winter.
ReplyDeleteI never knew Toronto was country?
What fine shots you got....the second and third are my favorites...but enjoyed them all.
ReplyDeleteThese were indeed very wintery scenes and quite lovely. I enjoyed them all very much. Loved the shadow in the first shot and the way the fence was leaning in the third shot.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! I think the snow can be a nice change of pace photographically speaking.
ReplyDeleteLovely winter photos - reminds me of my 1.5 years in Hamilton, Ontario (where not this much snow though).
ReplyDeleteThe shadows are lovely and so are the fences.
Have a Beautiful Day!
Peace :)
