Connemara Fence

Connemara Fence
A wild fence in a wild country! If you peek just over the distant Islands and bits of land you can just about see the roaring Atlantic. One wonders why they need to keep fences like this here as I didn’t see any sign of livestock. In the distance we can see another visitor here and we can only imagine what he or she is doing out there. Enjoy!
I wish you all, a great weekend, Herb

An 'Irish ' fence complete with one post upside down I wonder if the person was gathering something maybe shell fish HFF Herb I hope you have a good weekend
5 years ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Peter Castell club
Ha, ha, Peter, I had noticed the pointed fence but had not thought of it the way you see it. Well you know what they sat about the Irish..... I think yours is also the most plausible explanation re the person. I doubt that he was like me, to simply there to take a photo but we photographers can sometimes go a long way for a picture, as you now!

HFF and a happy weekend to you, Herb

A place, where water and land merge ... and still a fence is needed. At least it is good for the photographer, because it spends some uprights.

Hi Herb,

A very clear and well detailed landscape, and yes, I did look big size to find the person!
I can't explain the fences either, except that maybe the EU subsidies are paying farmers to leave the fields empty (or is that just France..?)

Best Wishes, HFF, and a good weekend.
