This most unusual sight is a few miles from Stockton College in Pomona, New Jersey. I drove by this many times and it looked like old coke bottles all along the fence. I stopped one day to take a closer look (and a picture) and was surprised to find that they weren't old coke bottles at all. lol. I guess they are some sort of solar energy thingy. I would love to know. If I ever see someone in the yard I will stop to ask. I must know!!

Kim - these are antique glass insulators for elictrical wires. They started out as clear glass, and the UV rays turn them blue or purple as they age. I have never seen them used as insulators - that was way before my time! My parents have some they collected over the years.
