Friday Fences - Locust Grove Split Rail


Locust Grove is a late 1700s historic home and farm within the city limits of Louisville, Kentucky. I was out there earlier in the fall to check out their annual antiques market and get some photos of the grounds. Stretching along the road side of the farm is the most amazing split rail fence. When Janis started the Friday Fences meme knew I wanted to get some photos of this fence when fall was in full swing.

The fence begins up near the side entrance in a little grove. The amazing thing about this fence is how different it looks from various perspectives.



Friday Fences is a new meme hosted by my good blog friend Janis at Life According to Jan and Jer . Go there to sign up or check out the fences shared by other players.

    I love these fences, but always imagine having to mow around them. What a job that would be.

    Cool! We also have a farm (1800s) with split rail fences in our town. I've always loved it.

    What a wonderful fence! A lot of hard work went into this one.
    The fall leaves scattered on the ground makes a lovely rustic scene.

    This looks like the fences they have in Gettysburg Pa. around the battlefield. It has a certain name but can't remember it. I too love the different angles. Great shot Faye...thanks for playing today!
