The Empty Parking Lot


This fence and gate in Coppell restricts access to this large, empty parking lot. Maybe that is the reason it stays empty, even during the middle of the day?

One of the things I found interesting about this fence is the barbed wire running across the top. While the fence and gate would keep vehicle traffic out, the barbed wire is obviously meant to keep intruders from climbing over the fence. However (and unfortunately its hard to tell from this photograph), any regular sized individual could easily crawl under the fence and gain access to the other side. So I guess they are hoping that if someone does try to trespass, they will be afraid to climb over due to the barbed wire, and afraid to roll under because they don't want to get their clothes dirty.
