Winter Fences

As you might guess, I'm seeing plenty of ordinary things as I drive around in search of frozen waterfalls and other scenery.  So here are a few of the interesting fences I've seen.  Ever since I started linking to the 'Good Fences' meme, I've been much more aware of the little things I see along the way like these.

I posted a picture of this fence in January, showing a really neat shadow, when we still hadn't accumulated much snow and you could see the fence in the distance.  Now it disappears in the snow fairly quickly as it heads west.

This fence is beside one of my favourite valley viewpoints, so I find myself there fairly often, and I like that small unused barn sitting in the middle of the field.  The stile is for the Bruce Trail.

And this is actually the same fence, taken in the opposite direction.

Here's another fence that disappears into the snow to the right.  And I know from last year that this will flood in April, and the fenceposts will be sticking up out of the water.  You could put together a series of seasonal pictures on just about any topic!

I've been intending to show a typical snowfence for those of my readers from further afield.  This was taken in December when winter was refusing to arrive.  It's glowing read in the light of an evening sunset.

And this is the same snowfence a few days ago, for most of its length only the posts sticking above the snow.  Put up properly they significantly reduce the drifting on the highway to the left.
