  • A Wall?

    Posted on Wednesday December 3rd, 2008 at 23:40 in fences, walls

    Sometimes a wall isn't made of brick or stone. Bushes, trees, or other greenery will be planted to have the same affect. This wall of shrubs was spotted in Lewisville, Texas (USA). It separates a new convenience store on Hwy 121 from the hurried traf...

  • Hanging Bridge- Cabadbaran, Philippines

    Posted on Sunday November 30th, 2008 at 22:05 in fences

    Like Forrest Gump jogging across Alabama, I once wandered so far across Texas I ended up in the Philippines (where I happened to meet my wife). This is known as Hanging Bridge. Its a suspension bridge over the river in Cabadbaran on Mindanao Island....

  • Apartment Walk-in Gate

    Posted on Sunday November 30th, 2008 at 21:18 in fences

    This is a walk-in gate at a limited access apartment complex. Its right next to the dumpster and the drive-in gate, which not only has the number pad to let you in, but you can also grab a copy of the Fort Worth Star Telegram....

  • Ocean Fence- Fish Farm

    Annie Lou poses at an underwater fence used to farm fish in the ocean at the Taal Volcano (Philippines). The fence is a permanent fixture and used year round as the fishermen breed, capture, then sell the fish at the local markets. This type of breed...

  • Wood Fence and Gate with Wheels

    This is something unusual. Its a residence with a gate that has a wheel attached....

  • Huge Automatic Gate

    Posted on Friday October 10th, 2008 at 12:46 in fences

    This is one of the largest automatic gates I've come across in Coppell. The second picture shows the fence it is connected to, as well as the guard shack which houses the security officer that limits access to authorized vehicles only....

  • Baseball Backstop

    Posted on Tuesday October 7th, 2008 at 11:16 in fences

    This practice baseball diamond in Hurst sits in a beautiful setting just behind city hall.The outside fence has open places so it restricts but does not prevent access. It makes me wonder why it is there at all.The other fence is the backstop for the...

  • Train Tracks

    Posted on Sunday October 5th, 2008 at 00:19 in fences

    This fence separates a parking lot from some railroad tracks running through Coppell. I've always wanted to be able to get close enough and see over the small hill so I could see how close the parking lot comes to the tracks on the other side. There ...

  • What Happened To This Fence?

    Posted on Sunday September 21st, 2008 at 15:14 in fences

    This column of rock and fence sits at an entrance to a nice housing development. The fence is falling apart and seems to be rotting from head to toe. I'm surprised the residents have let it get out of hand for so long. Its an eyesore to an otherwise ...

  • Sheet Fence?

    Posted on Sunday September 21st, 2008 at 15:03 in fences

    This old wooden fence sits behind a very old service station in Hurst. Inside of the fencing there is a storage area of junk, mostly tires, from what I could tell. At one point it seems this fence had a double sized gate, and after probably falling a...

  • Blue Pipe Fence

    Posted on Friday September 19th, 2008 at 10:19 in fences

    This fence is at the entrance to the Havertys Furniture store in Coppell.I think this company color-branded fence serves two purposes:1) It prevents people from accidentally driving into the grass, especially large trucks that might not be able to ma...
