Never saw that in Scotland when I lived there, they found plenty of rocks to enclose fields. They were great for the sheet metal on cars when the roads got icy. The layed hedges look more forgiving. >> >> > http://www.geebeephoto.com/html/nikki.html >> >> > http://www.geebeephoto.com/html/richard.html >> >As a footnote to the above, for anyone unfamiliar with hedge laying, the >results can be seen here: > >http://www.geebeephoto.com/html/previews.html > >--Graham =========================================================================== Hi Noel, England, or at least my part of it, is still very much a country of hedgerows and after laying and weaving they continue to grow and provide an impenetrable barrier. Some hedges are hundreds of years old and experts can date them by what is growing in them. As you move north they are replaced by the dry stone walls that you mentioned. Given the choice I would rather crash into a hedge :-) - --Graham - --Graham - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
