Fences in the Landscape Talk - Are We Listening? :

This book will alter the way you look at something as taken for granted as the landscape, especially fences. You will start to wonder who built those fences and why. You'll notice their shape and material. In short, you will take a moment to listen to the stories these fences have to tell.

Larry Hamilton's photographs of fences from around the world will show you both familiar and new types of fences. He invites you to both observe and reflect, adding some historical information and whimsical commentary of his own.

As you think about each fence's story, you might start to see connections between the physical fences we build and the psychological and cultural barriers we put up between each other. Both types of fences are, in reality, limited and temporary because fences are not permanent. They all break down in time. And knowing this, you can decide what fences you will or will not build in your own life.
