wide open fences

wild, wind born colza a.k.a rapeseed seems to have taken over this empty field where horses once grazed

 In rural Normandy there's no shortage of fences as you can see 

even if a piece of ground is lying fallow there'll be a fence around it.

The driveway leading up to this equestrian facility has fields on either side.

It looked so picturesque that I trespassed inside, just a little, to capture these shots.

After taking my shots I turned around

 and on the opposite side of the road spotted this old piece of fencing

 almost completely hidden by the weeds and overgrown hedges.

and finally because I live in Calvados, home to the wonderful breed of Normandie cows,

a very important fence which keeps this young lady and all her girlfriends 

in their field and out of my back garden.

You can probably tell from my photos
 that I've been monkeying around with that PicMonkey gadget again this week.
Still not got the hang of it yet but it really is fun to play with!
