better left unsaid

Walk­ing up to the top of Bishop Street and hav­ing this in front of me was almost too much to take. Weath­ered wrought iron fences are awe­some enough on most days, but on this morn­ing this one was made even bet­ter by a nice even coat­ing of fresh snow. For some­one who shoots black and white, this is pretty much a gift-wrapped photo. This is the fence that runs along the front of the Old Bury­ing Ground, on Bar­ring­ton Street. I was early enough to get to the fence before the wind and milder tem­per­a­tures got to clean­ing off the iron, I love how the snow has piled up so neatly along the hor­i­zon­tal bars.
