Old Wood Fence

This is an old wood fence in Nasipit, on Mindanao Island (Philippines).

There are three parts to this fence-

The first is the fence surrounding the house. The second, was the "half" fence which was doing nothing more than obstructing the view to an old carriage. The third part was the gate, which was interesting because of the arched top. I couldn't help but look at this fence in the condition its in now and wonder how old it was, and wondered what it might have looked like back then. Surely, to put so much effort into shaping the gate, the fence had to be worthy of the companionship.

On a funny side note- You can't tell from this picture, but I am standing in the middle of a small highway. I was intrigued at how close the house was built to the road (or vice-versa).
