Amazing find! Love your depth of field and composition. This image made me so curious I did a Google search and found that ranchers "put the boots on top of the posts to keep them covered and prevent rain water from seeping into the posts and rotting them out. Sometimes, a rancher will put boots on the fencepost to honor the passing of a beloved horse, a hired hand or fallen comrade. " I wonder what the story is behind this particular fence? L/F
