A village fence,
which was built to guard their houses, also plays a role of hanger where they
put cloths for dry.
Pictures were
captured at Mannavanur, a mountain village near Kodaikanal that overlooks
rolling grassland and another side with terrace farming. Due to great source of
meadow wild bison (Indian guar) frequent this area and thus also called as
bison valley.
The houses here mostly
seemed to build using clay mud and bricks and roofs thatched in iron sheets,
which I perhaps believe is to withstand the cold weather and mountain terrain.

A lovely fence and what a view!
Sad they only had such homes and at least they made do of the fence.
The place looks pleasant :)
Good one.

(and thank you for remembering zim and asking about gem. she is doing okay by herself. we still miss him, though.)
Wonderful shots of typical village fences.
Mountains always look so beautiful!
Any house surrounded by nature is beautiful!
The fence in the second photo without clothes is nice :)

Spectacular views and love the observation of the clothes on fences, so typical of us, India!
So many convenient clotheslines ah!
A fence makes a good place to dry clothes.
You keep surprising me with the different terrains of India. I never imagined you will have this kind of area in your country. Great photos of the fences with backgrounds. I hang my extra shirt on a plant while I am mowing the yard. Thanks for stopping by my blogs. I really do appreciate it.
I would be excited to see the real houses built from clay and mud. I have been hearing this for a long time.
Good use of the fence for drying laundry on. Very different housing from what we see in the US.
