2 years agoI once was cycling through a forest on the Bodensee-Königsee. I was going so slow due to trail conditions that I got passed by a runner. I actually have video footage of that I believe.

Anyone else see a face in that picture? Perhaps some wild beast with long hair and a big snout?
Maybe they just have a really, *REALLY* bad mole problem.
2 years agoI don’t think the chalk is actively removed, and I doubt the material in the photo is agriculturally related - otherwise we might see this commonly throughout the chalk lands here and in the east around Dover.
2 years agoMy first impression was that the farmer had, over many years, been removing the stones during plowing and dropping them between the fields. But then I thought that if the whole area is chalk that would be an endless effort. Then I noticed that the end of the pile is fairly abrupt and looks like it may have been scooped up with a front end loader, which got me thinking that it might be a supply being gradually distributed into the fields rather than an accumulation of material removed from them,
2 years agoI was curious about this too. It’s not a natural accumulation - it’s well arranged for some purpose. This country’s all chalk, but this is the first scene like this I’ve come across.
2 years agoGlad you two got in the good ride and walk in spite of the deterrents! I am reassured that you are both fine.
2 years agoThat's a heap of rocks! I suppose they came from the adjoining fields, and represent hundreds of years of accumulation? Or is it vice versa: the chalk has been dumped and waits to be crushed and spread as lime?
2 years agoAt least there could be ducks.
2 years agoHa! How can I have forgotten this? It’s only been 50 years since I read the Hobbit.
