Taipei - Bamboo Fence with Banyan Roots

This simulated bamboo fence, with simulated logs serving as posts, was at the base of Mountaintop Trail flanking the larger temple of several postings ago.  The background blur was created by utilizing medium depth of field with my walkabout lens.

These fences were not limited to the boundaries of religious grounds; they appeared here and there throughout the city.  The photo below shows another one with banyan roots slithering around its base.  It's easy to image these things coming alive, feeling their way across the sidewalk...which is in fact what they're doing, only in motion too slow for us to notice.
