Strange fences

The above fence sculpture comes from Dark Roasted Blend's picks of "Some of the World's Strangest Fences." Also included, a very long fence decorated with bras in New Zealand, a fence outfitted with a domed dog window, and many other oddities. Strange fences (Dark Roasted Blend)

I like the fence made of skis, and also the one made of colored pencils.

That fence is made of wall.

Neat collection!

The minutes I saw the last picture in the set (the mattress-thingy) I was instantly reminded of this from Percy Bysshe Shelley:

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!

I can also reccommend the musical fence at

and there is loads of other great stuff at the same site, including many instruments that would really have to count as Steampunkish.

Strange fences make strange neighbours.

Are there two different kinds of fences: one to keep things in, one to keep things out?

@4, FOTC FTW!

I heard that the bra fence got taken down? That's a shame, I would've liked to have seen that. I'm not sure if it's still there, but they used to have an awesomely gigantic ball made of bras at the Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore.

good fences make good neighbors; thats why I live next to a pawnshop.
