Description
This is another side of the fence I posted the other day; the area that protects the Least California Tern's nests. I love the wavy look of the old wooden fence, but am still trying to figure out why there are TWO fences. I'm sure there's some very important reason, and the wooden one does make for some fotos, but still...I wonder.
BTW--Michael (bangonthedrums) and I are running neck and neck for Artist of the Month in the Writer's Gallery. We were tied as of last night, and they extended the voting an extra day. So~~~~I'm politicking a bit here, VOTE click here!!! No matter who wins, it's a huge honor to even be recognized and I thank everyone.

I can't help with the reason or the votes sweety because I have already voted and they won't let me vote twice. It does seem odd to have two fences, the other one looks more sturdy and a better deterent than this wooden one. I guess there is a reason, but I don't know it, I find it rather strange and a waste of money. It does make for an interesting photo though. Excellent work. Bravo!!!!!
cool shot *****************
Fantastic work!
The wood fence is a windbreak to prevent sand from being blown away. Sometimes they are not placed right. If working as planned, a small accumulation piles up behind the fence ("dropouts," so to speak, where the wind velocity slows). Good pic.
it makes a really strong image
nice........
I just put my vote in!!! Great shot Marilyn, very unusual to have two fences! but now it makes sense that it is a windbreak. You can see that the growth of hardy plant life has a bit of green to it on the inside of the wooden fence and the same plants are suffering on the outside!
good luck wonderful capture warm hug, Linda
Too many fences in this world! Nice capture! :)
super looking
I think the wooden one is a sand barrier and the other is a people barrier; I love these beach fences!
The German ribbon and razorwire is coming. It has to look hostile to protect anything.
This is my favorite of the shots you took that day. Love what you've done with it!
Fantastic shot !
Terrific ambiance and perspective in this shot, Marilyn, but I dare say even Tom Sawyer would refuse to whitewash this fence! It's in dire need of restoration, but with its present budget catastrophe, California can't afford it.
I'm sure I can jump over the fence on the right... But I'll need a step-ladder for the one on the left...lol Aloha
If you find out why there are 2 fences be sure to let us know
a strange anomaly with the fence but hey it does`nt matter because of the pic opportunities :o)..excellent marilyn mick
Contrasts here are amazing. Great capture.
