This is a true old-fashioned (and just plain old) picket fence. It surrounds one of the houses making up Chestnut Square in McKinney. The house has been refurbished, so it looks almost new (even though it's over 100 years old), but did someone forget about the fence? It has that benign air of neglect, somehow seems a bit more inviting and friendly than a pristine, newly erected picket fence would have. I just love this old fence!

Yep still does the job and gives birds somewhere to sit too.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely adds character - super DOF!!!
ReplyDeleteNicely focused shot. I like the well lived quality of the fence and would probably not want to change it either!
ReplyDeleteI agree...this has much more character than a new fence would. Wonderful perspective on this.
ReplyDeleteGreat perspective!! I agree your photograph shows the character that a new fence wouldn't have. I'm sure when looking at it in front of a renovated house it looks very neglected.
ReplyDeleteIt seems so inviting in that condition, great perspective and I love the blast of color in the background.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous picture. Great perspective and subject matter.
ReplyDeleteIt does have lots of character. It's a good thing you captured the image - it may be next on the honey-do list to replace or repair.
