The Elizabeth Tower, London, and Good Fences

 
Keeping out the riffraff

I know that it's entirely possible that I've posted this photo before, but it's the best I could come up with today. I've not been out taking photos of snow-laden fences. I'll see what I can do in the next week.



I don't suppose a clock face can be admitted as evidence to substantiate my claim that I was in Westminster at 7:04 (AM or PM) when the crime occurred in another part of London.




I told you that I'm running low on fences. I took this photo in January of 2011, but trust me, it looks exactly the same today - snow everywhere.

    Call me a old fashioned farm girl, but I truly find your fence covered in snow the most beautiful.

    Great pictures, especially partial to Big Ben for obvious reasons, but love the fence in the snow picture. So pretty!

    That first photo through the fence is fabulous! And I'm sure the snow looks pretty much the same. Have a great day!

    I have a similar photo of Big Ben, but mine is at 7:00 pm. Personally, I love the wire fence photo as it takes me back to my country home. We used to walk through the fields to get to a hiking trail along an escarpment. Trudging through deep snow and running your woolen mittens across the spent Queen Anne's lace to get the seeds stuck on you. You could even see the little mice trails over the snow and back down into the little hidey holes created from dried bent grass. My old lab used to listen for the mice and then pounce (never successfully). Your photo is a beautiful reminder of those simple days. Wendy x

    I had to laugh when you posted the photo of the snow and said it looks the same today as it did in 2011.
    That's pretty much the way it is, isn't it? :)
    Have a blessed day.

    Well even if it is a repeat it's certainly worth sharing again. Loving the way you framed the clock tower between the fence posts. Also it would hurt to poke yourself on those iron pieces I would think. Nice snowy shot, glad we don't have that much. I just wish our "ice" would go away.
