Trees against the Sky

Posted by Richard Irwin (Belper, United Kingdom) on 23 November 2007 in Landscape & Rural.

Pretty much all of our landscape in this land is shaped by people. These trees were probably planted as hedgerows many years ago, where they would have been managed as boundaries between fields and livestock stockades. After the use of the land changes, these hedges, now neglected, mostly disappear, but some bushes are freed to grow into trees. You can trace the history of the land by reading the signs of the past generations.
