Theme Day: Fences

The first of the month is our City Daily Photo theme day, and this time it's "fences."

I thought I'd get creative and run by the pawn shop, but ours is a venerated business in a historic building (not exactly a fence). Perhaps I'd locate some skilled athletes and photograph them with their epees. Nevermind. I got caught up in the Halloween rush.

So here's a fence. It's even a little spooky.

I got so caught up in the rush, in fact, that I forgot Halloween was Zen Monday and here it is Tuesday and we're having theme day. So tomorrow will be a historic Zen Wednesday, the second one in PDP history. (The first was in June of last year.)

    Love the sunlight in this one. I'd say that fence is doing its job very well.

    Yes, Julie, it's a good fence.

    Virginia, I was just about to head over to your blog to see how you'd shamed me with something clever.

    And will Romeo climb the fence to get to his sun, rising in the East as he glimpses her between the slats?

    Love that you've combined a fence with the spookiness of Halloween. Clever.

    A great take on the theme! Fences like that invite peeking, could you resist?

    The fences of such design make me feel hopeless. But the sun rising returns the hope back.

    What a wonderfully optimistic photo, Petrea. You can't fence in sunshine.

    Wow, this ancient fence only allows the sun to shine through at sunrise on All Hallow's Day. Hopefully not onto a sacrificial stone.

    Oh wait, it's not Zen Wednesday yet.

    Love your photo -- the sun shining through, no matter the obstacle. We can all use the buoyancy of light.

    if only I were a dp-er. I'd have proudly displayed the redwood fence Mr V and I labored over.

    Funny, I haven't kept up with the theme day this month. Turns out by sheer coincidence I did a couple of consecutive posts on fences just last week. I'm psychic. I enjoyed yours.

    Ms. M and others, you've interpreted the photo so nicely. I like how we can all have our own ideas about it.

    PA, you can display that fence anyway.

    Steve, you had a premonition or two.
