Fence- Altiplano style

Take a wire and fix any old rags to it. To create a gate take two posts and a bicycle tyre. To be seen in varations all over the Bolivian Altiplano:-)
HFF everybody!

The photo was taken near Nogachi village at ca. 4000m. Along the mountains in the background is the border to Chile.

Herzlichen Dank, Heidi! Der hat geschoben und hat jetzt einen neuen Reifen- du kannst davon ausgehen, dass der hier xmal geflickt wurde, bis gar nichts mehr ging;-)

Interessant, aber wozu bitte braucht es da Zäune und was will man herüben von drüben abgrenzen?

Gudrun ^club has replied to ©UdoSm ^club

Großen Dank, Udo! Auf dem PiP ist rechts hinten neben der Strasse ein schwarzer Fleck=Lama. Die hauen dann nicht ab.... Die Quinoa-Felder werden auch so eingezäunt, da ist es dann eher dazu da, dass keiner reingeht;-)

Are these fences just boundary markers or do they keep any animals in or out? An exotic location, Gudrun HFF

Gudrun ^club has replied to Phil Sutters ^club

Thanks, Phil! They actually suffice to keep the llamas and alpacas in:-) Have a nice weekend!

A great landscape, also a good illustration that fences are often mainly symbolic. :-) HFF and have a great weekend.

Was für eine Einöde, hoffentlich ist in der Dorfkneipe was los :-]. Aber ich ahne, die gibt es auch nicht mehr...

Dorfkneipe? Hat's noch nie gegeben;-) Wenn man die Piste zurück zur Hauptstrasse fährt, kommt man zu einem Laden, da gibt's was. Und ein Dorf weiter ist ein Armeeposten... Herzlichen Dank, Uwe!
