This is the view from one part of the Goudini Spa resort. We have other pictures without the barbed wire, but we both kind of liked the contrast of the harsh wire against the beautiful rolling landscape.
We live in a very security-conscious society - unfortunately, the reality is that we have a really high crime rate. So for us, it's not unusual to see security measures like this (though quite honestly, I think they're trying to keep out scavenging baboons rather than criminals here). I've seen a few pictures on other city blogs of spikes or broken glass on top of walls - how common are things like this where you live? Do you lock your doors at night? Do you have a burglar alarm system in your home?
