Fence & Rooster

Hankgärdesgård Tyrestatupp
No real inspiration for photography at the moment. And I do of course blame the weather for that. One day it's 7C and a blueish sky. The next it's freezing and snowing again. Yesterday was an in-between day so I took the bike to the Tyresta national park. This is a fence called Hankgärdesgård, this type of roundpole fence dates back to the Viking era a Millennium ago. It's a few photos stitched together, shot with the nifty fifty to get that shallow depth of field. The buildings in the background belong to the old village. They are a few centuries old, there's a working farm there and that's where I met the rooster.

Wonderful perspective in the first shot Steffe, it's a tres photogenic style of ancient fencing. Monsieur le Cockerel is very handsome!

Jättefin komposition och djup i den översta bilden. Dessa traditionella gärdesgårdar är vackra och minner om en svunnen tid men också om hantverk och skicklig hantering av trä. Snacka om skillnad mot det Gunnebostängsel jag har runt delar av min tomt...

Tuppen ser ut att vara i god form. Stolt sträcker han på sig och behöver inte skämmas för den granna fjäderdräkten.

Two very fine images, Steffe.
