There is something about birds singing on barbed wire that always appeals to me, especially now.
Driving on the highway this image was pointed out to me. Great lines taken at speed so creating a slight shadow.
Yesterday I posted a photograph of an old barn that I had photographed years ago. Today, I wanted to share a little bit of the awesome detail of this rustic structure. What really drew my eye to this boarded up window was the electricity wire running across the side of the building, through the boarded window and then to the ground. I love black and white photography because of how light and shadows enhance detail and texture, along with shapes and patterns, as seen on these weathered boards,. Having spent time years ago in a black and white darkroom, I now really appreciate digital editing because of the tools available, and the amount of control one has in processing a monochrome photograph. I actually find I spend more time editing a black and white image to achieve just the right tonality.
I appreciate your comments and views. I will be off here for about 10 days will be commenting as I can . Have a great day everyone.
This is the first swallow I met this spring. Swallows are back and they are now building their nests with mud and hay. This one is taking a rest, from its work. Notice the beak (its tool for the constructions) covered with mud.

"If you should feel
the desire
to touch a live wire
be sure your heart
is strong
as your idea
might go very wrong!
Your hair will stand on end
and drive you round the bend.
Your heart will pump
and then a bump
as you slump upon the floor
and could find yourself
knocking at heavens door!"
(A poem by me)

HMM!
While looking for birds on our trip west, it seemed many birds I found were sitting on wire fences, especially on the prairies where there weren’t many trees. It has to be easier to install and more cost efficient when putting fencing around vast open spaces. The sound of the Meadowlark is quite distinct and I loved listening to them when we were camping. It was a treat to see them sitting on the fence as opposed to hidden in the grasses. Happy Fence Friday.
A look at the gothic architecture of the Old Joliet Prison through the razor wire atop the fence surrounding the Penitentiary. The prison opened in 1858 and closed in 2002.
Not too long before becoming young and restless, the fledgling Barn Swallow did receive an energy transfusion sufficient to sustain it during its solo flight along Rettilon Road on Bolivar Peninsula.
