Privacy first

You often see privacy screens erected along outer walls, I guess to prevent the neighbors from looking in to a property, but this is the first time I’ve seen them over the gates, on the street.

Not what it looks like, posted earlier:

Nikon D810 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
1/200s f/8.0 at 24.0mm iso100 full exif

Think it's time to build up my own walls and introduce "Privacy Screens" to the North East of England! We'll captured Helen and documented.

some nice ornament, though still constantly amazing how all these folks live behind walls
