hedge...

This hedge is on the road near a spot called Orford. One comes around the corner and this suddenly appears, the absolute precision of the hedge cutting contrasts sharply with the roughness of the native scrubs and the cedars on the northern end of the hedge. Behind the hedge is a farm stead, and they have maintained this hedge for some time. I first saw this about 15 years ago when I was driving around doing field research for an MA.
The work maintaining this hedge must be considerable.
This is the point the cedars and the hedge meet. Chaos is just out the left hand side of the picture. The cedars are probably 100 years old, they are a tree of choice in this region, and plantings have been made for hedges, windbreaks, and self sewn voluntaries.
