Thanks Ben. This makes sense given the spacing and location near a farm field.

Wondering about the spacing mainly. Ben Parke seems to have a good rationale for the planting.

I wonder if they are Lombardi poplars? We have seen Lombardis used as protective windbreaks for crops in Washington.

I saw an episode of, I think, Die Sendung mit der Maus about this. They have tree farms where they grow this trees and trim and transplant them multiple times before they get planted in their final location. Thus, my suspicion is these are baby trees in the early fledgling stage.

Please elaborate. Are you surprised that they’re growing straight up (which, after all, is what poplars do) or that they’re planted close together?

Steve didn't get it, but Dodie apparently shares your warped sense of humour.

Of course. I thought about describing it as a tree jammer but wasn’t sure you’d get the joke. No one ever understands my sense of humor.

Oh good, you are paying attention.

Now, we’re talking. A true three jammer.

It really depends on how definitions. If you define impressive as gold, pink cherubs, and over the top embellishment perhaps many of the Italian churches take the prize. On the other hand, there is the Wiesekirche near Fussen???

Not true! :D

Oh, it’s a house? How silly of me. I thought it was just another food pic.

I'm extra looking forward to Aunt Sophie meet-up (and Ronnie and Joe too yes?) post extra lots of pictures when you get there please!

Surely a holzer torte would have more...layers?

zinger - nice one mom.
