    I don't think that the sheep are too worried, they know that it's not the volt's that kill, but the aaaaahhmmps.

      Thank goodness it's not a hitch with your new camera!

      As for the sheep, let's hope they can read.

      It reminds me of an old nursery rhyme:-

      Mary had a little lamb
      She tied it to a pylon
      10,000 volts went up its ****
      And turned its wool to nylon.

            He he he.....I know some nursery rhymes....one went

            My pal billy had a ....Ooops come to think of it that was a rude limerick

            Well spotted shots.....have those fences always been that severe.I always thought they were just a few volts - like a battery
            No wonder it hurt when I was a kid "they" said it did not hurt if you touched it
            They showed me by just quickly holding it - but guess who held on for too long.....ME...ouch ouch ouch.I bet that's why I am the only one who has lost their hair in later life

                    Well Pete, I have to say your first shot is original. The contrast between hard metal and grass, mineral and vegetable, is most effective.

                    Hmm, the second brings back a shocking memory as recently as last year when I got a nasty boot from an electric fence when I started using it as a camera rest without noticing what it was.

                      Electrifying thread this is... so I suppose I had better add to the pot.

                      the mice ran up the clock
                      the clock struck one
                      .... and the others got away with minor injuries.
