that looks like a pretty basic fence for such a large palatial estate. I like your black and white tones

Une clôture qui ne colle pas bien avec la demeure.
Jolie monochrome.
Bonne journée Elaine

Wonderful photo, Elaine. I especially like the additional texture added by the thin overhanging branches. They feel like a kind of veil draped over the buildings.

La maison est magnifique et effectivement la clôture dénote un peu mais je trouve très joli ce rideau de fin branchage dénudé.

I like a lot the play of lines within your frame, like a curtain of hair on the forefront of your pic !
