But I like the photo.

Even the waterfalls change direction to peep!

Was this a street in Brazil?

Weren't you afraid of snakes?

Perhaps the model was a tad wary of trouser snakes.

What a total joy to return to the days of artistic shrubbery! In short supply these days.

I'm all for a bit of gardening myself, Walter, just as long as it's done in the best possible taste. I'm not into a scorched earth policy.

But that's a British obsession: we all like straight edges to our lawns, which amazes the local gardeners here in Mallorca, who simply mow around any obstruction. There are some amazing sights.
