The prettiest fence in all the land...

[impulsereader]

northernwalker and I were jointly swooning over our unreasonable love of wrought iron recently, and I happened to mention that a house on my street has a pretty, pretty red wrought iron fence, and she requested pictures. I just managed to remember on my way home from a walk on Sunday and so left my shopping unattended for a few moments to take some. I then realized that the house right next to it has a pretty, pretty black wrought iron fence as well.

Also - woo to the hoo! - I finally got the second mood theme to upload properly! I've no idea what I was doing wrong, though I think I had a double // when I wanted a single, but that really doesn't explain why some were working but not others, as all the line items were identical. But anyway... as a result, I am now Ecstatic - see above.

Hm. I'm still going to side with your climate and once I'm independently wealthy will be moving to your neighborhood. :-)

Wrought iron hitching posts? That is something I've never seen, but how lovely! Hm...wrought iron - tethering - air ships - Pirate Sherlock...world building is so rewarding.

Wrought iron, like the ones in the links above, and cast-iron too, although apparently cast-iron is much less durable. I grew up in Morgan County Illinois before moving north, and my grandparents lived there all their lives. Beautiful little town called Jacksonville, with lots of homes on the historic register.

You really must read troyswann's fic about airships that are sung aloft. She does illustrations, too, whimsical little sketches - here

Gorgeous!

I had hopped over to troyswann's journal, and her airship fic is on the list. I'd honestly been mentally adding it to the list of things to catch up on just in the last day or so.

In fact - I'm going to go start it now. :-)

Hm - wrought iron ships? wrought iron anchors! wrought iron piles of rope with a ring of rope? though I'm imagining that the music powers the wind - this is part of why Sherlock needs officers - one violin can only do so much - but magic could provide a base level of buoyancy, requiring tethering.

And I'm reporting back to say that the first installment of the Peregrine 'verse is indeed amazing!
