Iron fence (a)
Surrounding St. John the Baptist church, Markyate, Hertfordshire. This is a very old fence and I do not know who put it there. If it was the Church, then in order to place a boundary between the sacred and the profane (sheep and cow very likely being in the profane bracket). If it was the landowner, the person owning the mansion Markyate Cell, it was probably meant to keep the commoners off his land. Anyway, the iron fence is still there and telling you to respect boundaries. Leica M8, Voigtlaender NC 1.4/35 wide-open.
