Well, today is Thursday, and in my book that means fences and linking up with Theresa's 'Good Fences'. And exactly that I am doing today.
Only, that my fences are actually not real fences. They are...
... walls. Same function as a fence - to either keep someone in or out. All of these fences are in the Cotswolds whose landscape is criss-crossed by walls.
It's a beautiful landscape, really, and the walls just add some extra charm.
Sometimes they separate a cemetery from the nettles outside.
Sometimes the cemetery itself is covered in weeds and the sheep are right next door - that's a pretty common picture. It's a pastoral setting, after all.
The walls are rather rough and irregular - another charming detail about them.
truly wonderful! i always love these stone walls! thanks for sharing these!
