Theme day : fences (and walls!)


In France - and in most European countries - November 1st is a holiday, as it's the day where living people go and visit the dead, in cemeteries. It's also a theme day (check it here) within the City Daily Photo blog community. And today's theme is Fences! I thought of showing you a fence within a cemetery, but I did not find any... So instead here is a wall, that I shot in Le Marais, at rue des Archives. A little less theme day compliant, but a little merrier ;-) I really wonder what's behind this wall!

  1. Eric, thanks for reminding me about today's religious holiday. My post today happens to be of a cemetary fence. I do like your rendition of today's Theme Day Photo!

  2. Well, bully for me then, Eric. I am showing a fence around a cemetery AND a fence around a grave. I gather then the 1st November is All Soul's Day. Must amend my post ...

  3. Chlorophyll under the supervision of a fence is a very nice illustration of the theme of the day. In addition, today is All Saints' Day and our Dead have no need for a wall to keep them on track, aren't they? Only living beings suffer this condition ;-) You see, your photo inspired me this morning! Thank you for being such a good photographer. I really like it.
    BTW, do you know that Rue des Archives is also a pictures agency that contains beautiful photos? Yes, I'm sure you do!

  4. LOL What do you want to bet that the dumpsters are behind such an interesting wall?

  5. Looks like what's behind that green wall are some extremely aggressive vines!

  6. It looks to be a renovation of the building beyond the courtyard behind this temporary fence covering the historic gateway.......I am sure it will be beautiful when complete and removed! Thank you, Eric! (^_^)
