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
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.
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.
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.

Sunrise at the Poppy field, The sun did not show indeed there was rain in the air, a five shot panorama from the corner of the field, Just as well it`s a barbed wire fence because we know that the field would soon be trampled sadly .
One more to come from sunrise as the sheep came to say good morning .

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.
