Hi Bob,
You have a good point about the barricade effect offered by the hedgerow
between the other two areas but I was taken by the 'doorway' in the hedge
maintained by all the walkers over the years. It conjured up thoughts of a
secret doorway into another world which probably says more about my
whimsical nature than my photographic decision making :-) Thanks for
looking.
