Good Fences ~ Edition 22 ~

While visiting Connecticut, I noticed every home had a stone fence.
Intricate, detailed...
 and labor intense to install, I would imagine.
We drove by hundreds of these fences. I had to exercise a lot of self control
to "not" yell "stop the car" at each and every one.
They are really beautiful!!
 
But there was no doubt about stopping for this one,
I'm sure you can understand why.
This one was a beauty, no more beautiful then the others...
 
  but this one had a barn and a stone silo.

 There were several not-noteworty fences behind it...

A special and most beautiful farm, I had never seen a stone silo before!!

I am so happy to be sharing this pretty stone fence with
for Good Fences.
Stop by and consider joining in the fun, any fence or gate will do!!

I love to look for 'turtles' in stone fences with the grands. I see a few in yours.
Beautiful sights ms. debbie!

I've never seen a stone silo before either! Beautiful!

These are absolutely gorgeous! I wonder if they are made of a collection of rocks, or rocks from a supply company? Either way, they are truly stunning!

Hi Debbie - That stone fence is amazing, and I love the barn and stone silo. You shared some "Super" finds with us! (Oh and you did a fine job of photographing your finds!).

I remember seeing so many stone fences in New England. Ireland has them, too. Each one is so unique. BUT, I never saw a stone silo -- beautiful!

Karen said...

LOVE stone fences! A landscape architect I worked for in Dallas created one for a wealthy homeowner and took me by to see it afterwards. I was so amazed. I can see why you yelled STOP the car! for this. Beautiful!

I once read a piece in the Reader's Digest about a modern man repairing a stone foundation. He did his very best, but it was far, far, far from the precision of the original makers.

Oh my, what a great place Debbie, and that beautiful old stone wall and silo was fantastic. Great photos! Thanks for stopping by my post, I'd have liked to have gotten a better view of that garden and house too. I guess that was why the gate was locked :(

I love stone fences! We have a lot of them in Kentucky. I don't think I've ever seen a stone silo, though. That's awesome! Talk about some work!

bj said...

I, too, love stone fences...so pretty. And, I have seen several stone silos. Great photos.

Tina Fariss Barbour said...

Wow, the silo and fence are amazing! I would have stopped, too. I love stone fences. You don't see many around here.

CJ said...

Stone fences are indeed beautiful. Your photos are lovely.

Thanks for the warning. We will be driving through that area in about 3 weeks and I'll be asking my husband to stop so I can take photos ---or else I'll have to take them while the car is moving and hope some turn out well.

Miss Debbie said...

The fences are great but that silo is amazing!

Angie said...

Beautiful
I love silo's anyway but a stone silo makes the top of the list :)

Ida said...

Stone walls/fences are pretty cool and yes I bet they do take a lot of time to put together. I'm amazed at that Silo, can you imagine building that. No wonder you stopped and got some great photos.

Oh my goodness, I have never seen a stone silo, Debbie! It is gorgeous, and I cannot help but wonder just what it took to build it.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Judy said...

I love that hugs granite boulder anchoring the fence!! I have never seen a stone silo before either. Lots of concrete ones, but not stone!

LeAnn said...

A stone silo is very unique; I haven't ever seen one. I loved the rock fences; even that is unusual. These were great shots.
Blessings for this one!
