Weekly Photo Challenge – Fences
This week’s subject is suggested by OK123Letsgo:
There are not many fences around here, and this week I was unable to go out and track any of them down. I dug this one out of the vault:
In 1974, I had been in Alaska less than a year. I had never seen hoarfrost, or, as it is commonly called here, “ice fog.” Strictly speaking, ice fog consists of airborne ice crystals. When they settle on surfaces they are rime or hoar frost, but Alaskans usually refer to the frosty coatings on trees, power lines, vehicles, fences, etc., as “ice fog,” anyway. The first morning that I awoke in Anchorage to a city covered in frost, I wandered the streets shooting everything, including this fence on the downtown Park Strip, with the Chugach Mountains in the distance.

That is another phenomonon I haven’t seen unless you count a frosted windsheild. I think I would avoid licking it with your tongue. All I can think of after seeing your photo is the kid in the Christmas program with his tongue stuck to the pole. More darn fun. Love the information about the “ice fog” and It has to be beautiful, cold but beautiful.
beautiful view through that chain link fence.
great shot.
Interesting mix of foreground and background! Nice shot!
I bet it was a sight to see that morning. I can’t wait to visit AK one day.
Hehehe I was thinking about kids with tongues stuck to frozen fences too!
Great shot!
Cool photo!
NICE!
the vault provided a good one….cold stuff thought.
very cool shot!
Glad to be able to peek into your vault
Great photo, we get that kind if ice too , you think its just fog then fall flat on your back , like walking on glass.
This subject was tough for me because usually fences are not the focal point of my pictures. I would have loved to ee that in person.

Love the colours!
burrrrrr…..
Nice one
No fences? Hmm. Who would’ve thought?? Very nice post.
Even though chain link is not the most attractive fencing it does have a nice pattern to it.
