In case it's not already obvious, I'm kind of a fan of the non-event photograph. This picture is part of a slowly growing series that I think of as "Confined Spaces". Nothing profound, or particularly original. Just pictures of various people's attempts to control nature. A neatly-mowed lawn, a boundary of hedges and rock walls. Are these people actually, if unconsciously, trying to control nature, or are they just trying to fit in with the neighbours? What's the point of this flat expanse of grass? Looking at it, I'll bet the only time anyone actually walks here is when they're mowing it. Sure is tidy, though, isn't it?
