The illegal dumping of waste at the side of the road, often in pleasant countryside.

I 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.

I 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.

My 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,

I 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.

Glad you two got in the good ride and walk in spite of the deterrents! I am reassured that you are both fine.

That'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?

At least there could be ducks.

Ha! How can I have forgotten this? It’s only been 50 years since I read the Hobbit.
