Jamestown, Virginia, USA. The original fort was three-sided, with upright posts with ends buried in the ground and pegged boards near the top to stabilize the wall. The fort was expanded at least twice. All that remains of the palisade logs now are stains in the soil. Seen here is a reconstruction of a palisade.

Interesting reconstruction of the original Thad. How those brave settlers defended themselves!

This fence will be sure to keep the enemy away from the fort. The aged wood and textures look great, Thad.

By judging your image, think that reconstructing was more effort than building a new one at that time. Even authenticity has its own price, lol. Thanks for another very interesting addition to your series.

Looks a little like the reconstruction of Fort Stephenson we had in town a couple years ago. Nice angle on this, Thad.

Very nice shot Thad. The angle, slant, and texture of the fence almost can be interpreted in the abstract.

Interesting, I never knew what a palisade was, guess a person learns something new quite often. Nice work.
