I am lucky to live so close to one of America's top tourist attractions - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. It is where the famous battle of the American Civil War took place in July of 1863. Whenever my hubby and I get the chance for a day or night out together, we normally end up in this quaint town less than 30 minutes from our home. We like to go to the Dobbin House Tavern for a cold beer and a sandwich, which is what we did on this cold and foggy day. Because of the weather, Gettysburg was like a ghost town. I didn't mind though. It was nice to take photos without all those tourists in the way!
This particular fence is called a "worm fence" because of it's zig zag formation. It was and still is a popular type of fencing used in this part of PA because of the rocky terrain. There is no need to dig post holes, which makes it quick and easy to build.

I like the quiet and introspective of a foggy day - this is a beautiful shot!
Your composition is lovely.
Lovely composition & capture! It looks kind of eerie.
That is a great picture! So neat that you are so close to such an important part of history! I would imagine it is nice to go when it is not "inudated" with tourists (but then of course tourists are always nice for the economy :)
very nicely done!
betty
One of my absolutely favorite kinds of fences...beautiful shot! Glad you told us what the name of it was...I didn't remember!

I've eaten at the Dobbins House Tavern.. Great place then off to Boyd's Bears some interesting photo opportunities there.
The girls and I had dinner at the Dobbin House in August. It was a bit dark,but the food was delicious! We were hoping for a bed, but were stuck in a quaint little corner table.
This image just oozes history, absolutely gorgeous shot! Love it! One day I WILL make it to Gettysburg, I just have to! =)
Stunning photo! The peacefulness of the old battlefields are so haunting, and this has that quality.
The mood of your pic is very mysterious and fits so well with your story!

My favorite kind of photo--very atmospheric with just a few really strong elements like the tree and fenceline here. Lovely work, Kelly.
What a lovely and evocative shot. I've never seen this type of fence before, we don't have ones like that here in Oregon ... at least that I've seen.
That is just beautiful! Great shot! Love the lighting.
perfect :) I'll be gone on Monday so I'll miss Quotography :( I'll check in with you on the next week.
Wonderful photo.
Regards and best wishes
Love the tree and fence against the foggy sky!
Oh, my I am glad I took a minute to scroll back through...I didn't get to visit all fences last week cause we went and got our granddaughter.
This is a wonderful, wonderful shot. I so love it.
