Mountain Barrier HFF

EU funding, maybe? ;-)
There is a strong alpine character in that picture. l like the blue dots at the cloudy sky.
HFF Roger.

Many thanks Leon, so many fences appear to have no purpose but then someone has money to spend on them, you may well be correct with the EU

some people just like to build fences and make other people pay for it ;) HFF Roger

I agree, just cannot fathom out the purpose of them

Stunning climbing fence! HFF, Roger!

Thank you Dimas, appreciated.

HFF, Roger und ein schönes Wochenende!

Thank you Lothar.

very impressive composition of a steep slope in the mountains where the fence seems to enhance the difficulty in climbing ...
HFF Roger !!

Many thanks Bea, the reason for the fence is a mystery!

The bloke who banged them in.. must have had his reasons.. but yeah.. why not vertical ?
Have a HFF and good weekend from Dj.

Many thanks, a neat bit of work considering the location but why is still a mystery

HFF, Roger ! Have a very nice weekend !

Thank you Ulrich, appreciated as always

Very well composed Roger.
HFF and a nice weekend.

HFF and a very nice weekend !!!

Many thanks Karp.

Anyway, the fence attracts attention. :) HFF and a great weekend, Roger!

Really appreciated, Thank you.

Interesting find :o
HFF Roger!

Thank you Marta.

Someone has gone to a lot of trouble installing the fence! A cool find- HFF, Roger!

Thank you Gudrun, very professionally erected but why is a mystery

An interesting fence indeed. I think that what appear to be posts are actually 'droppers', attached only to the fence (not in the ground - see the 3rd up) and meant to keep the wires from separating, so at right angles to the fence. A lot of wire though and as there is no barb I suspect possibly for horses or similar. HFF and have a great weekend, Roger

Thank you George, ground not suitable for horses but red deer a possibility as a good number in the area It's the large mesh on the bottom that also confused the issue.

HFF and have a nice weekend, Roger!

Many thanks.

...that looks very dangerous up there...HFF, Roger...

Thank you Erika, appreciated.

That is steep!! A well framed photo. Not heard this track before. A good one by Johnny Cash!

Thank you William

A great capture, whatever it's purpose it is a serious fence I assume it was easier to drive them straight into the ground than try to get them vertical HFF I hope you have a good weekend Roger

Thank you Peter, I have noticed many like this since posting this image

An interesting fence indeed!

HFF and have a great weekend!

Really appreciated Fusun, many thanks.

Hi Roger

Nice fence!
Maybe so people will not go over the edge?
Maybe for sheep?
If the fence posts went in at an angle so as to make them vertical, then the height of the fence above ground would be reduced according to the sine of the angle the fence post makes with the ground. (Or a longer fence post would be needed..)

Best Wishes, HFF, and a good weekend.

Peter

I take your point Peter, many thanks

In this part of the world it would be to keep livestock in (or out)--do they run cattle or sheep there?

Many thanks Steve, as an afterthought it probably was for sheep and deer

Yes, a very strange fence, Roger !

Many thanks Christiane, difficult working conditions for sure

Must have been quite difficult to put that fence up Roger!!
Nice link too. That voice is just amazing!
Have a good Sunday and week to come.

Thank you Rosa, the highlands has many fences that may you wonder how they were erected.

You were sure on a hill that day, Roger! Can you imagine having to put that fence up? Wow.

Great image and a classic from Mr. Cash.

A very belated HFF to you a good week to you too!

Thank you Karen, impossible walking but I guess animals can manage hence the need for a fence, great fan of this artists music

With that angle I thought I was looking at one of my shots! Lol! Great capture Roger. HFF and have a good week

Thank you, really appreciated.

HFF, Roger!

Thank you Susanne

A very belated HFF Roger.
