Beautiful Barbed Wire

A challenge on Flickr is barbed wire and I was out after breakfast to try to get some good shots of the barbed wire down the road. I suppose the usual associations with barbed wire are negative ones like prison, war and concentration camps. It is used to keep people in where they don't want to be or out of where they want to be, it is aggressive and confining. However, in this rural setting it simply encloses a cow pasture and was very pleasing to contemplate with morning dew, cobwebs, autumn leaves, lichen.
