Double trouble

 

This double fence has always amused me. My best guess is that the owners had a dog and decided to enclose their yard with a fence. The giant hunk of granite presented a bit of a problem, though. It was too large and too expensive to move, yet too close to the road to build around. So, the decision was made to build the fence over the bolder, so that not one square inch of backyard real estate would need to be sacrificed. The unintended consequence was that the dog could clamber onto the boulder, reducing the effective height of the fence by nearly half and making it much easier to escape the yard. Clearly, the simplest response was to add a second fence to the first one. This strategy obviously worked. Problem solved. Pentax KP, 35mm f/2.8 lens, converted to black and white. I'm really enjoying this camera, which will probably be the subject of a dedicated post one day.
