    SO many stories could be created from this picture! Why are they standing in the dirt on either side of the fence, when they could take 5 steps and meet in the middle on the sidewalk? Why the path in between the properties that runs into a brick wall – a sort of no man’s land, if you will? This is a great shot. Thanks for sharing, Jason!

    It looks like the spite fences the old ladies on my street started building a few years back.
