frontier

We walked a tiny part of the Itchen Way yesterday. It was peaceful, warm and sunny, a few other dogwalkers. For some reason a small stretch of the path between the River Itchen and the meadows was bordered by evil barbed wire.

For the challenge: thanks Richard @vignouse, proving useful for me

Very thought provoking photo...we are seeing such harrowing stories on the media of people trying to cross these barred paths.

@pennystot

You are on my wavelength - terrible times.

[Carren]

Not only have your pictures been great individually, but I am loving your calendar view!

A poignant reminder that all is not well in the world today.

[Sylvia du Toit]

Well done. Here you see these wires today and they get stolen overnight! you can see how the steal it every night bit by bit. It is a shame because cattlle is no longer fenced in and gets into the road.

@sdutoit

I am puzzled why people want to steal barbed wire - do they have a use for it or is it just vandalism?

[Richard Sayer]

Thought provoking - the limited DoF and the diagonal framing create a dynamic tension which is almost palpable. Thanks for joining in the challenge.

Cool picture.

Don`t love those wires at all but sometimes needed to keep the animals in. I`m glad I live in an area they use not much of it.
