I know it's VERY early (I will be away for a couple of days) and also it's not exactly a fence, but it will have to do! Stone field borders are called hedges in Cornwall.

Sierra de La Cabrera and the Bustarviejo Valley.
Additional note 12 years later. On reflection this day was my first ever in this Sierra and I fell in love with it on the spot!

View towards Bosigran, Rosemergy, Pendeen Watch and Morvah from the lower slopes of Carn Galva.
The granite field-walls (called 'hedges' in Cornwall) seen here in the middle distance, and present in much of the coastal-shelf areas of West Penwith are reputed to be the oldest 'continuously used - for their original purpose - man made structures anywhere on Earth'.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my EX-PANO and new IPERNITY…

Basset Cove and Crane Islands, Cornwall.
High tide (at low tide, this is on one of my favourite shoreline rock-hopping 'walks'!).
The South West Peninsula Coast Path once followed the line of the fence. Now it has to veer sharply inland due to severe coastal erosion.

If you were not 100% catholic, in the days of the reconquista and after, it made sense to declare your undying adherence to the True Faith of the Winning Side by such means as these biblical extracts over your door!

Not advisable to dawdle too close to the crumbly edge here! I walk by here about once every two years (at one time 3-4 times a week when I lived here!), and am constantly surprised by how much land has disappeared each time! Not too long ago, I could have walked across to the promontory from here in a straight line!).
There is an old tin mine entrance on the far island (storm erosion has washed away what would have been an obvious approach to the entrance, I suspect).
Happy Fence Friday!!! PLEASE STAY, DON'T RUN AWAY!…

Taken in Spring 2014, please ignore the exif date - always wrong in this camera and no one has been able to fix it!
This is an area due for complete redevelopment. It lies between the Four Towers and Chamartin Station and has been an eyesore since the beginning of the recession (except for a few weeks in Spring!).
I did have to remove a few beer cans and empty cigarette packets first!

A mix of my English siblings and their children, my Spanish in-laws - I mean my sister's very Spanish family - and my girlfriend who at the last moment turned her head away from the camera, as usual!

Near Penberth Cove, Porthcurno and Logan Rock, West Penwith, Cornwall.
It actually is a rock window but I couldn't get the whole frame in the shot without falling off the cliff edge behind me. ... And that I would not do, even for my art!! :o)
