Humans are territorial creatures, as are many species, and throughout history we have 'laid claim' to the land and the water and 'traditional hunting territories.'
With the advent of agriculture, we became more settled and devised ways of defining our boundaries and protecting our crops and domesticated creatures. Walls were also an important component of fortification and defense. In many parts of the world people still utilize natural materials to make fences and it is to that end that I start this thread, as a thread with the potential for long tenure and one that I aspire to add posts to on a regular basis. Pictures and bits of commentary are welcome from all who would like to join in.
Hadrian's Wall must have been an accomplishment for it's time. I would love to see it in the physical though I am not much to wander far from home. The internet is a marvel that it can bring us images from places where we may never have occasion to venture.
The Great Wall Of China is another amazing piece of history...
