Good Fences


Steve's Fence
There is not another fence in the world like this one.  It was hand wrought in copper by my dear friend's husband.  It runs along the back of their yard where there is a steep drop off and was made so it would add to the view as opposed to obstructing it.  Steve was an artist is many ways and his work was impeccable.  As Steve passed away a year ago this post is in his memory.
The copper is just beginning to develop the beautiful verdigris patina ...




RIP Steve ...
