Are Fences Architecture?

[Monza76]

Should these be moved to scenic or landscape?

Much of "outport" Newfoundland still has lots of these fences, the simple untrimmed picket fence is still used, however the original fences were used to keep errant livestock out of meadows and vegetable gardens (cattle sheep and goats were allowed free range of the common lands). Today they are still used as a decorative reminder of the past. These fences are the last remnants of original fences.

The pictures are from a community in Conception Bay, Newfoundland, Canada, about four hours away from my home in Gander (airport town built just prior to World War II so no fences here). The Avalon Peninsula has lots of examples of these fences, here is one more for you:
