I generally like fences visually, not theoretically… ๐Ÿ˜‰

They make a delimitation between spaces and create a focal point to an image that otherwise would not have too much visual appeal. In photography, they can split an image into layers of interest, and often create nice patterns, too.

Here you will see a type of fence that I believe you haven’t seen before – and it really delimiltates two different environments. It’s the Cape Bonavista coastline fence, that separates the town of Bonavista from the rough water of the Northern Atlantic Ocean.

As you can see the wood is quite massive, but the water is continuously rough there and the fence is so, so close…

… and here is a gate to the sea – It was surprising to see this gap in the fence… it is also so visually interesting ๐Ÿ™‚

All these images of the Cape Bonavista coastline fence are available as art prints at Fine Art America, for your wall or home decor. Here is an example on how one of them can look above the living-room sofa, but I think that a series of them would be more comprehensive… Just click on any of them to see all the options.

  1. I love how you’ve captured the surf as it crashes against the rock, and that special translucent aqua as the wave rises out of the sea
