The dark side


Here's a picture of what we call "the dark side", it's a piece of chestnut woodland that we own and George (the butcher of Benfeita) our neighbour suggested that if we wanted to fell the pines that were periodically falling over we needed to do it now as he's about to plant corn and didn't want the trees falling on his land or being felled onto his land.

considering the obfuscation of the beekeepers and the general ambiguity of the shopkeepers, one wonders if it is really corn he's planting... he might just want a view with fewer trees in it...
