Long past its prime, a section of fence remains on duty. Now incapable of preventing entry, it can only offer a suggestion and a weak reminder not to enter.

I like the fence, almost about to fall.

There were bones and bodies scattered about that property and 3 guys with shotguns sitting on their porch chewing tobacco. One of them said to the other..’Cletis, that someone trying to break thru our fence?’ At that point I high tailed it out of there, finding the nearest saloon.

Thank you Marion.
Yes, a fence with a great history and many memories. Sadly, it can only become firewood, and knows not the future that awaits.

Nicely done in B/W, Mike. I rather like the building…is it some sort of small barn?
Perhaps, mind you, just perhaps Cletis was sittin’ there chawin’ and drinkin’ and strummin’ “Don’t Fence Me In” in 1953 when he had a brain snap and broke down some of that old fence?
Could have happened, couldn’t it?
LikeLike
It may well have happened in just that way. Only thing known for certain is Cletis continues to strum and drink from a jug.
Yes it is a small barn in the background.
And thank you!
