The Limbo Connection's photos with the keyword: barbed wire

I was up early and noticed it was misty, but not so bad that a short drive would be dangerous. There was a copse in Lacock which I had long wanted to photograph when it was foggy. However, Lacock had been locked down because some big film or other was being made and Brad Pitt or somebody was having to be protected from his fans. The security guard, a man of few words and a threatening demeanour, took his duties most seriously and shouted loud enough to wake Brad, or whoever, in his caravan somewhere out of sight but probably within earshot of the loudmouth fellow. I found out by trial and error where his protection zone ended, and photographed a few things in the unprotected part. He had probably been up all night and not seen a soul until I turned up. I must have made his day. He didn't make mine, but on the plus side, I did get this picture which I might otherwise have missed.

Any comparison to 'A Cold Wind in August' by Burton Wohl (1960) would be odd. Likewise 'A Bouquet of Barbed Wire' by Andrea Newman (1969). And any reference to the song 'Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head' by Hal David and Burt Bacharach from the film 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' (also 1969) would be well off track. Time to have a lie down, I think.

I like to keep to the facts: 1. This is a fence. 2. Today is Friday. 3. The ipernity uploader tool is a flaky and erratic piece of software which needs urgent attention.

At 129 ft high, Silbury Hill is the tallest prehistoric man-made mound in Europe and one of the largest in the world. There is nothing inside it other than chalk, clay, rubble and soil, and there is no big hole to account for the materials used in construction. It would have taken 500 labourers 15 years to complete.
