Just a glimpse for Friday's fences...

We passed this fence sometime last year over in Illinois...it was a beauty....and I don't know why I did not get better photos...if I remember correctly it was a busy road even though out in the middle of nowhere.
Even though I should have done better, I am still going to share this with you for Friday's Fences.

i haven't seen a fence like that in a long, long time. those ropy mortar lines are so cool.

You got enough so we can see. I have never seen a stone wall with a curve at the top like this, it is beautiful!

I can't even begin to imagine the hours of work that went into creating this wall! Beautiful! Glad you caught it and shared!

I love stone fences but have never seen one with the ropy mortar lines. This is a great one.

What a beautiful wall, I love all the soft and subtle colours, the shaps and the textures. Wonderful.

This is gorgeous! The design is very different with the mortar lines, and I love all the colors of the stones! Plus, that gate is simply magnificent! I would say you did very well!

Look at all the work that went into building that fence. Amazing. You did a fine job taking the pictures. Sometimes traffic just won't let you do what you want to do.

The mortar in between the stone is very interesting...you don't see this anymore!

A stone mosaic wall--how original and beautiful. Glad your shared even though you weren't 100% happy with your results. We don't mind.
