"Berlin" Wall
This fence, topped by razor wire, separates our part of Rancho Palos Verdes from the gated city of Rolling Hills. It's at the end of Crest Road which continues to the other side of the hill. Obviously, the typical citizen is denied access, though. My husband and I walk the 2.8 miles from our home uphill to the gate which we jokingly call the "Berlin Wall." Occasionally, I've gotten here and found the gate open, but didn't have the time to see how far I could walk inside the gate. Of course, we don't mean to disrespect the tragedy that the real wall caused for the people trapped behind it.
