Fence vs. Wall

There's not a lot of differences between fences and walls. Both have nearly the same functions, and in many cases they are connected together and work hand in hand.

Below are the definitions that are applicable in this blog to each one-

Fence- a barrier, railing, or other upright structure, typically of wood or wire, enclosing an area of ground to mark a boundary, control access, or prevent escape.

Wall- a continuous vertical brick or stone structure that encloses or divides an area of land.

While my main interest has always been in fences, I share the same interest in walls, as one might expect. This blog will share my fascination with both and labels will be used to let the reader narrow down what interest them the most.

Welcome!

Texas Wanderer is a collection of fun, interesting, and entertaining places I've come across while wandering around Texas. Whether living, visiting, or vacationing in Texas, you'll find plenty to do here for every member of your family.

In addition to places in Texas, I've also included a few other spots throughout the country and world. Also included is my large collection of fence and wall photographs, since the majority were taken in the Lone Star State.

I've always been an admirer of fences- no matter how large or how small, how simple or how complex, they have always amazed me. Some are built to keep things in. Some are built to keep things out. Some have no importance except to beautify the landscape. And through the years I've passed many that seem to have no purpose at all.

Thank you for visiting. I hope after reading about Texas it will encourage you to visit and check out the places I recommend. And maybe you too will begin to take notice and appreciate fences and walls. They are common, yet intriguing works of craftsmanship.
