Happy Fence Friday!
I believe I found this primative wayside in or near Trebujeni, Moldova. This tiny quaint village is near the famous Orheiul Vechi Monastery.

"Aug 08, 2013 · Ten kilometers to the southeast of Orhei city lies Orheiul Vechi (Old Orhei; marked on maps as the village of Trebujeni). This is arguably Moldova’s most fantastic sight. The chimerical Orheiul Vechi Monastery Complex is carved into a massive limestone cliff in this wild, rocky, remote spot."
Well, it would seem that there there are a good number of these celebratory arches around. This one though only measures 14 metres in heigh so doesn’t really compare with the Parisian version. This example dates back to 1841 and commemorates the Russian army's victory over the Ottoman Empire. Photographed in the Moldovan capital of Chisinau.
