I am a wooden fence-post addict, as well.
They lichenate, they get charred, and they rot at their bases and need constant attention, every few decades or so.
Oak, cedar, pine, whatever the locale provides is acceptable for a fence line: a living tree, a tree that's dead, a convenient boulder, and some wire and staples or nails.
I got a million of 'em.
Group shots, a fence running off into infinity, are fun.
Gates are a whole genre unto themselves.
As are bridges.
Then we have stumps, and rotting logs with the possiblility of animals using them as domiciles and storage dumps.
And once-useful things, which are useful no longer.

You want wide, see Peter or Ed,

Marlow's shot reminded me.....how could we overlook decomposing granite?

Hornitos
HA
I have a friend (neighbor "kid") who was on the Hornitos CalFire crew. Now he's in Coarsegold I believe.
A shame to see this cabin falling to ruin. It was inhabited until about 1970. Was very well built by the man who logged this area. The best old growth Redwood. The main structure is still intact. It's a fine rodent domicile now.

That's exactly what he told me!

I was in an old mining area last weekend.
