We asked our readers to send in their best pictures on the theme "fences". Here are some of the pictures we received from around the world.
Afroditi Kalambouka
Afroditi Kalambouka: "On the first day of the easing of the lockdown restrictions, we went away on a log cabin mini-break. Rather than a barrier restricting access, this fence will remind me of opportunities for travelling again, and will represent a gateway to some sort of normality."
Rachel Varley
Rachel Varley: "Bringing a splash of colour to our neighbourhood in Horfield, Bristol."
Jess Thomson
Jess Thomson: "Determined, this Lancashire cow was not going to let a fence hamper her desire to eat."
Duncan Holmes
Duncan Holmes: "We abandoned an endless traffic jam near Stonehenge and took to the country lanes for a break, coming upon this elegantly bent railing - almost improved by a minor collision."
Doris Enders
Doris Enders: "For this caterpillar, the fence is no hindrance to reaching his target."
Richard Hughes
Richard Hughes: "Our garden fence appears to be the local hot-spot for many a pigeon looking for love, but sometimes others need shooing off first: Get off my fence!"
Lesley Heptinstall
Lesley Heptinstall: "A typical Lake District submerged fence serves as a focal point against the early morning mist rising above Lake Coniston. We had to stop the car on our way to another prospective photo shoot so as not to miss capturing this atmospheric scene."
Sam Bancroft
Sam Bancroft: "This was taken whilst my wife and I were touring Iceland - having taken lots of photos of stunning landscapes whilst visiting, I think this one captures day-to-day farming life in the country... with jaw-dropping backdrops."
Laura Burke
Laura Burke: "Blackhead Lighthouse, Wild Atlantic Way, Co Clare, Ireland, photographed through the fence."
Martin Watson
Martin Watson: "A good use of retired race skis at my allotment in Cardiff."
Jane Wynter
Jane Wynter: "A fence marking the boundary of the piste in Les Arcs," at the ski resort in Bourg-Saint-Maurice, France
Mike Bentley
Mike Bentley: "Ice crystals on fence and post alongside the Pennine Way as it comes off Saddleworth Moor, and before crossing the M62."
Emily Trevitt
Emily Trevitt: "Oh deer. Have I been photobombed? A very brave young buck made sure our dog definitely stayed on his side of the fence."
Chris Lemon
Chris Lemon: "A fence stops the wild dune animals from entering the beach."
Anthony Baldwin
Anthony Baldwin: "Our cat 'Cat' slinking on one fence, casting a shadow on our other fence."
James Bimson
James Bimson: "Old fence that refuses to fall."
Peter Jarrett
Peter Jarrett: "Canadians aren't big on fences. I once had a visitor from London who couldn't believe we didn't surround our homes with fences. This is a fence attached to a small house overlooking the Atlantic on the east coast of Newfoundland. And the purpose of the fence? To keep the moose out of the vegetable garden! Fewer people, more moose, I guess."
The next theme is "Outdoor art" and the deadline for entries is 4 May 2021.
