Over the fence




 Last time I drove through Okaihau, a local town about 20 minutes from here opposite our local cemetery after I parked my car I spotted these 2 workmen fixing a fence at the edge of a Kiwifruit farm.  They were there for quite a while and to me it looks like they are nailing some material at the top to protect the crop from prevailing winds in the Winter.

That would make sense.

This is the first time I saw how kiwis grow, crazy, huh. Never thought about, grab some from the supermarket shelf and eat!

The worker in the lift bucket gets a great view.

Ah, that explains it. At first I was wondering why they needed such a high fence!

Would it help I wonder if a serious gale came through

It pays to be safe.

looks crazy somehow. But it would be fun being lifted up there. :)

I like the idea of having a shelter-fence - too often shelter-belt trees seem to fall onto the roads in bad weather. Hopefully the fence won't :)

Never seen anything like that. One helluva fence.

  This has been one of the early buildings in Westport from the 1870s that is still being used for the local newspaper, so much old Victoria...
