Looking across the valley towards Hadley Wood, the houses of which are barely visible in the haze. The line of trees probably mark the line of a boundary hedge between two fields here. A less distinct line of trees out of shot on the left may also indicate a boundary suggesting that this one large field, currently growing a potato crop, was once three smaller fields. The hedges were probably removed as a result of the mechanisation of farming after the last war.
