A long time since I have posted a fence, but here is one that is not really the subject of the photo. Recent devastating bushfires in the Adelaide Hills.
This fence survived, but with nearly 13000 hectares of scrub and grazing land burnt out, many kilometres of fencing was destroyed. Sadly though the wire paddock fencing proved an obstacle to many animals fleeing the fire, especially kangaroos and koalas.
Latest update is 32 houses lost, numerous outbuildings and many injuries - mostly minor. Fortunately this time no loss of human lives.

Great picture of the landscape awaiting the far off fires. Always sad to hear of the devastation of wildfires. This shot brings it all home. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI guess fencing has it's bad points as well as it good ones. Very sad that so much has been destroyed!
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame when fires are out of control and destroy so much beauty. I guess the fence was spared for a reason.
ReplyDeleteSo very sad about the fires and the loss of animals and land like that. It's nice fencing though.
ReplyDeleteWe've been following news of the fires on TV. Glad that fence survived.
ReplyDeleteFires bring such devastation. Sad to hear about the animals that were unable to escape, glad the humans fared better in that regard.
