Good Fences

This wrought iron fence with its stately stone wall is surely worthy of being the entrance to a medieval castle where Guinevere awaits her dashing Sir Lancelot. Cut the action! Pull back the cameras and reveal....

 
The fence and wall lead not to a castle on the hill but to a Hampton Inn Hotel newly built this past summer.
I have always loved this wall and fence. It stands in the city of Parkersburg, West Virginia and has been here for as long as I can remember. It's along a busy highway so I took these shots from the passenger seat this afternoon. There is an exact wall and fence on the opposite side of the street. On that side of the street is a very old cemetery. There were no graves on this side of the street and this summer digging and landscaping began. I thought perhaps it was to enlarge the cemetery. Instead a hotel went up.
