Barbed wire

Looking through the wires...at more wires. What you can expect to see on a backroads drive.

This is the exit point of the Wire Pass trail (which passes through a narrow slot canyon) at the conjunction where it enters Buckskin Gulch in Utah's Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. I love walking in slot canyons. Note the hiker near the far wall for scale.

naked wires, their thoughts exposed for all to see,,

in darkness they are safe, but here, now they stand vulnerable

Wire

After searching for #wire for #MacroMondays, I began to consider earrings that I no longer wear. (Too cold in Alaska and would catch on my wool hats. Grew out of the habit.)

And because I couldn't find a good focal point, I used the stick-in-the-ear piece or post as selective focus. On black glass.

In January 2022 I asked a Flickr support hero to remove my accounts from the Explore algorithm. Peace. I hope you know that when I comment I mean it sincerely—not to achieve the Explore algorithm requirements.

Thanks for looking.

I expect to see wires hanging from poles, but usually not quite like this,

Alviso, California.

Barbed wire, also known as barb wire, occasionally corrupted as bobbed wire or bob wire, is a type of steel fencing wire constructed with sharp edges or points arranged at intervals along the strands. It is used to construct inexpensive fences and is used atop walls surrounding secured property. It is also a major feature of the fortifications in trench warfare (as a wire obstacle).

Michael Kelly Invented the First Barbed Wire Fencing

The first wire fences (before the invention of the barb) consisted of only one strand of wire, which was constantly broken by the weight of cattle pressing against it.

Michael Kelly made a significant improvement to wire fencing, he twisted two wires together to form a cable for barbs - the first of its kind. Known as the "thorny fence," Michael Kelly's double-strand design made fences stronger, and the painful barbs made cattle keep their distance.

Joseph Glidden Was Considered the King of the Barb.

Joseph Glidden's design made barbed wire more effective, he invented a method for locking the barbs in place, and invented the machinery to mass-produce the wire.

Living patterns of the nomadic Native Americans were radically altered. Further squeezed from lands they had always used, they began calling barbed wire "the Devil's rope."

After its invention, barbed wire was widely used during wars, to protect people and property from unwanted intrusion. Military usage of barbed wire formally dates to 1888, when British military manuals first encouraged its use.

During the Spanish-American War, Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders chose to defend their camps with the help of barbed fencing. In turn-of-the-century South Africa, five-strand fences were linked to blockhouses sheltering British troops from the encroachment of Boer commandos. During World War I, barbed wire was used as a military weapon.

Even now, barbed wire is widely used to protect and safeguard military installation, to establish territorial boundaries, and for prisoner confinement.

I found this barbed wire along with the male Blue Dasher Dragonfly perched on it, at a Polk County park along Lake Kissimmee. Polk County, Florida.

Macro Mondays ~Handle With Care

very thin craft wire..

Wire is the theme this week. I have lots of wire as I have been gradually rewiring my old house. I am fairly good with the electrical part of things. Plumbing? Not so much.

My brother passed away 2 and half months ago so this being Thanksgiving made things a bit sadder. I am not looking for condolences. It was just a weird day missing him.

I guess we should all be thankful for each other while we are here.

Happy Macro Mondays

Macro Mondays theme today: "wire"

The Conemaugh and Black Lick pulls seven cars of steel wire along the Conemaugh River to the former Bethlehem Steel wire mill across town, now operated by Liberty Wire.

#104 was one of at least fifteen EMD SW7s delivered to the C&BL in the late 40s and early 50s. During the days of Bethlehem Steel, they had as many as a dozen switchers active during the day.

LT2 was painted green rather than red. I rather liked this against a very green background - even the traffic lights are green.

Given a little more grain to finish it.
