A Gated Community

My Wife and I, including our grand-daughter Kassidy and the two puppies went out for a walk today. It was beautiful. While they walked ahead, I looked around for different photo opportunities. I was happy with several photos, but I really liked how this fence looked against the tree, and then on top of the fence they had three strands of barbed wire. The fence is around a cemetery, which reminded me why the have fences around cemeteries. People are dying to get in. I know, it's bad.

I've seen many fences around cemetaries, but the barb wire is a first. Great lighting and shadows on the tree.

[brett currie]

ha!! love the title, and all the graphic lines here.

[Karen Hurd (hwy61)]

Haha...gated community...cemetery...(like the B&W)

[Courtney]

Thanks for the laugh! I also like the tree against the wire.

[FaerieMoon]

Harhar--I always wondered why they had fences as well. Well, now I know! Great contrast in this--all the lines (:

[Pam Hawkes]

I have never seen barbed wire used at a cemetary before this. If a person was trying to scale the fence they might die before they got over it and then they would be in the right place. Nice shot in B& W.

[Dennis Natividad]

nice lighting! beautiful black and white photo!

[Terrie Skinner]

Pretty cool b&w!

[Jen Dee]

Love the black and white for this photo.

[Nikkers]

You would be amazed at what people do at cemeteries .. there are some wacked out people out there... lol

This is a lovely shot . I really like the black and white!! and the bare branches are so cool ..

[Mrs. Smith]

Nice idea for a picture. Glad you had some time outside too.

[Alecio]

kind of funny the thought about cemeteries, the photo is very well composed, love it!

[Angie]

Neat black and white

[meredith]

i don't understand why there are fences around cemeteries... but this is a great picture

[Kerri]

Great capture! I love the black and white

[Andrea Renner]

Great in B&W - maybe its to keep the spirits in!

[Rudi Teruel]

Quite a Pretty B&W shot, rick... looks very moody and mysterious....

[Brenda Baird]

This is like a story in itself!

[Della]

a beautiful shot...kinda creepy....it is weird that there's barbed write around it!

[Crystal Drake]

I love pictures of barbed wire! I don't know what it is. The lines, the texture? This one is great!

[Barbara Warner]

Ha ha! You had a nice play on words and a good photo!

[Allison Williams]

Here's the only other cemetery joke I know: You know how many dead in that cemetery? (Rim shot) All of them.

[Sharon Lowe]

Ha! Good photo. Works well in b&w.

[Lori Rompolski]

lol...a classic one liner...nice shot

[Terry]

Family outing and still got a picture. a real trooper.

[Constance Brinkley]

Ha, very clever! Nice capture. Black and white is perfect for this shot.

[Katrina Cristy]

Nice shot, love the b&w

[Margaret Tryon]

LOL Love your joke. Good shot Rick. I like the lines in the fence and the branches.

[Laurie Higgins]

Well your joke made me laugh! This is a fabulous shot. I love the perspective and black and white is a perfect choice.

[Wendy]

Great shot! Love the perspective and the B&W!

[andiejaye]

as long as it's to get in and not out, right?? this is a pretty shot, too with the black & white...

[Pamela Mandeville]

You just had to go there, didn't you?! Haha. When I glanced at this shot it reminded me of the tree that's all intertwined in the chain link fence in our backyard. We'll have to tackle that extraction one of these summers.

[Miriam S]

Good b&W photo. there's something about cemeteries that sacred - that's probably why they have fences.

[cglist]

LOL - nice textures and repetition here!

[Fiona Kierans Dunne]

haha - great shot.

[Rebbecca Castillo]

LOL! Love that you chose b&w for this shot- makes that fence look even more menacing :D

[Kimberly Mitchell]

It's a funny joke. (Meant sincerely-- not sarcastically.) But sad that people would vandalize graves so that they need a fence.

[Beth]

What is it about barbed wire and fences that draws us?? This is great and I love the b&w.

[Sue]

love the contrast, it has that man vs nature feel.

[Sue Beatty]

Good detail. Sad they have to do it and I don't understand why they vandalize graves.

[Laya Hasmin]

LOL =D This is a really good shot...the barbed wire, the branches and the b&w. Love it!

[Brad Johnson]

Very funny. That's a serious "keep out".

[Matt Clendon]

::groan:: terrible joke, but great b/w. It's like a barbed wire sandwich.

[Diana Moss]

I agree with Matt lol

[Yoella Offir]

Ouch. It looks more difficult to get in than to get out.

[Deb]

I probably couldn't have resisted writing that joke either...I do like this in B&W. My eyes are drawn to the different lines and textures.

[Bill Dodsworth]

Haha, wow, that's some security for a graveyard

[Isis Weiss]

Great shot...in the b&w it actually reminded me of a prison I once drove by.

[Lynn]

Haha - funny. I haven't seen barb wire around a cemetary before either.
Great shot. Love the b&w here, perfect!

[StephD]

Haha. Love this in b&w just do not think colour would give the same feel.

[Harsh Brown]

this is one stunning shot... love your caption!

[Elvira Higginbottom]

haha I love the joke!! I like the contrast between the fence and barbed wire and the tree, very symbolic too.

[hellcat]

Great shot-- I thought the pole holding the barb wire was the barrel of a shot gun for a moment though. The joke wasn't that bad. Made me smile.

[Isla Wight]

'Bad' is not the word! A real groan of a joke!

[Martha Burns]

Bhooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

[Vicky G]

This is a great shot! I love that you chose to do it in B&W also, works very well for the subject matter.

[Paula Fontanini]

HA, I laughed outloud at your title after I read your description...very clever! I do love the stark b/w image though!

[Henriette Sparkes]

Great shot, like it in B&W.

[aikiuser (jenn)]

Bahaha! Really bad pun, really great photo. Love both! ;-)
