April 2012: A horse on the hillside

The Sepia Set decided to go off to Beachy Head to take some pics and on the way, saw this extraordinary sight. Photobucket

So I pulled over

Photobucket

And zoomed in

Photobucket

curious, eh? a horse carved into the chalk hillside. England has many of these Neolithic era horses carved into the hillside. Pagan symbols presumably.

Photobucket

Nothing much to tell about the surroundings, a house was nestled into the woods on the right.

Photobucket

The bramble lined road curved around.

Photobucket

A supremely bored Kannu on the left..

Photobucket

And back to the horse.

Photobucket

A little pond in the front..

Photobucket

Gently rolling hills

Photobucket

With a farm house and cows in the foreground.

Photobucket

Decided to drive forward to see if we can get a better view and parked on the side of this meadow. And then took a 360 degree panorama..

Whenever I see sheep, I am reminded of Diya’s joke, what is a sheep with no legs? Clouds! lol

Photobucket

A lighthouse in the distance

Photobucket

The wind has made sure that the trees grow in the shape of an isosceles triangle.

Photobucket

That’s where we came from

Photobucket

Photobucket

And the road to Beachy Head. You can see the channel in the distance between the two hills

Photobucket 

A last look at the extraordinary shape of the trees and we drive off..
