And all the way down again

Oh, The grand old Duke of York,
He had ten thousand men;
He marched them up to the top of the hill,
And he marched them down again.

And when they were up, they were up,
And when they were down, they were down,
And when they were only half-way up,
They were neither up nor down.

The close up photos are impressive aren’t they?

It certainly caught me eye as we drove past it. The trees made me think of two opposing armies facing each other. I had no idea it was a war memorial until I came home and did some research.

We will have to pick a nice day for our next visit to the garden, so that we can take in the hill as well.

It was such an unusual site, I was pleased that I was able to see it from the garden and take a photograph.

After all these years, it’s hard to believe the designer is still unknown, Cherry. WOW. I’d love to see a close-up….actually, I just Googled it. They really ARE trees and not soldiers!
