Friday Fences...Stone Fence in Texas

 
I know stacked stone fences are a lot of work. Can you imagine how difficult it was to place these gigantic stones to form a fence?


Just for fun, click HERE to listen to a 1945 recording, of Gene Autry singing "Gonna' Build a Fence Around Texas"

      Hi Beth...I have no idea how this was done. They must have a lift of some kind.

    Those stones are 10 times larger than the stones in Ireland. I can't see this stone fence falling down; it's there to stay.

      Hi Ruth....did you notice the stone building next to it? There must be a stone quarry near-by.

      There are some pretty rocky places in Texas....There are also a lot of stone quarries in the area where I live.

    Must be a lot of stones in your part of the country! Beautiful wall and building.

    Fellow Texan here...makes you wonder how they got those in place, assuming it's an old fence.

    Stone fences are awesome! We have them in Kentucky, but not like this. It takes a lot of work to build them.

    I thought of you on our drive and paid attention to ALL the fences we passed. Love the stone fence you feature today; they're really a part of our landscape. XOXO

    Such a pretty fence and I'm sure a lot of work. My great grandfather used to build stone walls in the little town where I'm from. It is neat that the fences and wall remain even after they have gone. Take care. Heather
