A Perfect Geographical Tribute

This is just so poignant.

Discovered recently by a passing hot air balloonist, this heart shaped feature emerges as a vision from the surrounding woods.



The story behind it which I saw in the Daily Mail is a real tearjerker though.

A man who's wife passed away 17 years ago wished to create a lasting tribute to the woman he had loved for so many years.

"The farmer planted thousands of oak saplings in a six-acre field – but left a heart-shaped area in the middle, with the point facing towards his wife’s childhood home."

You can actually see this in Google Earth.



Or if you don't have Google Earth, you can see it upside down in Google Maps.

Rochester Row

Eight thirty, and shutters up,
The lone drummer, swaying in the breeze,

Chimes ring out for ten,
The bookbinders bound by the awning,

For some their time has come,
With dignity, she lays them to rest,

Ants search for their next lair to colonise,
Pacing to the beat of the speaker's voice,

With wispy hair and apple in hand,
The ink pours into storytelling mode,

Back to their posts in all directions,
March the armies of orange blue and white,

Five thirty the exodus begins,
Delta, Victor, India, India.
