 Stone  posts seen from the driveway into an old estate

I wonder who made all those posts!

Podoba mi się ogrodzenie, słupki wyglądają jak szyszki. Pozdrawiam.***I like the fence, posts look like pine cones. Yours.

Those things are truly unique...and they do represent a lot of hard work! I rather like them, too, but then, I like all things created of stone. Well, except the stony looks I used to get from teachers who failed to realize my potential for comedy and other mayhem. ;-)

Re the sound thingys in the vet's office: They didn't work too well when we were there. But I think they're better than nothing. This is the kind of thing you'll find in recording studios.

My very first thought was WOW! This is an awesome fence! Can't even begin to imagine the amount of work that went into each of those posts...then getting the iron in there...again, WOW! And, great photos showing them off!

Donna Heber said...

Great photo of those stone pillars. Doesn't it make you wonder who spent all the time to make them? Can't beat the quality of work that was done back then.

Rose said...

Oh, this is really a unique fence...really a wonderful find.

Amazing fence posts.....I image they were built when labor was very cheap and I image they will be around long after we are all gone....

They are a work of art....

Kathy said...

Very unique. I'm thinking they were poured into a mold.

Dimple said...

Stone posts last a VERY long time! These are also beautiful...

Yogi♪♪♪ said...

Oh my, that is a lot of work and money. Somebody really wanted that fence badly. Plus, I'm trying to figure out how they built it.

Marie said...

Very interesting! So different! I love it when people opt to go for the more creative and think "out of the box."

Gillian Olson said...

Now that is an unusual fence.

Nice! I love the combination of the stone posts and iron bars in between!

I bet you win for most unusual fence this week. :)
A couple of comments have already mentioned they look like pine cones. With the fir trees and pines I see I wonder if that is more than just a coincidence.
Great find!!!

That had to have been a ton of work, but I bet that fence is not going to fall down anytime soon!
