Frame Wood; old unenclosed New Forest.

1837

1837, that's an old piece of graffiti. I like the way the carving's expanded as the tree's grown, with the one probably being close to it's original size and the subsequent numbers being increasingly stretched, leaving the seven considerably enlarged. Nice.

Follow the leader

A string of ponies passed me whilst I was out walking today. They moved in formation; 2 ponies out front on point, 30m break, closely grouped 8 or 9 ponies, 30m break, 2 larger, possibly older ponies as rear guard, like they were on patrol. Well, that's what it looks like to me.
