If Only Walls Could Talk

I'd love to ask them when they were built, how long it took to build them and why the fields they enclose are the shape they are.

Field patterns near Malham Cove in the Yorkshire Dales.

Wonderful landscape Dave.
Yes I wonder too why fields often have strange shapes , not only in Europeeither.

The corn has ears but is too young.

Wonderful shot, Dave. Perhaps the shapes are determined by the contours and features of the ground.

Absolutely fascinating. I'd guess the local archaeology people could help with details.

Dave, I love this. I would ask the same questions, standing at your side and appreciating this incredible sight. So many days, weeks, months and years to create them all. Amazing. Thanks for sharing!

Also, I really loved the words you left for me on my sporophyte image. You totally made my day! I simply love to surprise my viewers with something special they didn't expect, so it tickles me that you enjoyed the show...it was just as wonderful for me to discover it! :) And I'm glad you liked what I wrote too. In this day and age, people often forget the simple and most important things like remembering to be grateful for this life we are given! I know that I need this reminder from time to time too!

Happy holidays! *big hugs*
