New Idria, Ca. (ghost town) New Idria is in a remote part of San Benito County. It was established as a mine site for mercury. It was a company owned town with housing for employees and all the necessary facilities. A fascinating and somewhat dangerous place to explore. At the time this image was taken, there was only one inhabitant that I know of. I never saw him, but was told that he roamed the area armed and chased off any interlopers. The area became a superfund site. Search "New Idria" and you will see many images that make it obvious of the environmental damage.
I had an account with Flickr starting in 2006, but somehow it got messed up and I could no longer log into it. So I have created an album on my current Flickr with some of those images. I haven't been transferring any lately, but I'm now trying to see if there are some things that are worth adding to this Flickr account. I'll be posting more as I can.

Influenced by the cubist photo "The White Fence" 1916 by Paul Strand I attempted to create a similar rendition of my own.
The challenge was to visually balance the positive and negative spaces and reduce perspective to a flat cubist plane. Each element separate yet also adding equal value to the unity of the scene.

As a heritage property the grounds of the Low Head Lighthouse are kept in immaculate condition by Parks Tasmania, and a loyal group of history volunteers. Nowhere is this more evident than the lovely white picket fence that runs along the lawn in front of the light itself. Here we can look out across Bass Strait. The nearest land in a direct line from here is Wilson's Promontory in Victoria - before the end of the last ice age connected by a land bridge. The distance is only 241 kms (just about 150 miles).
Anyone who has seen a Wes Anderson movie might relate to this scene. Anderson loves symmetry and scenes of great tranquility.

With the proliferation of plastic fences in the rapidly developing one-dimensional American suburbs, I happened upon this "old-fashioned," indeed architecturally creative, authentic white picket fence actually made of wood. The flowers emerging in and around it were only the icing on the cake. I love these old vestiges of beautiful construction. Here, on Martha's Vineyard, they are lovingly maintained and showcased outside this house in the center of West Tisbury.
A white fence encircling the cricket oval, that at first sight looked like a picket fence. On closer inspection, the fence turned out to be tubular aluminium.
The horizontal lines in the background is a corrugated iron walls of a transportable building with an alternate view of the oval, likely for sporting commentators.

The sun is not over the horizon yet, but the first rays of morning light are appearing. This picket fence is right next to the Low Head Lighthouse. I have brought up the exposure levels in processing revealing how much information is contained in the shadows of this RAW file. The sensor on the Nikon D850 is extraordinary in low light.
This is Blue Rooster Cottage. Although I’m sure there are better fences for Fence Friday, I couldn’t resist this picturesque little house. It looked very welcoming all lit up on this gray overcast day.
