Sunday Nov 7 Day 157
I went over to Lal Tiba and taped shots of the beautiful pusta (retaining wall) recently built there. It is a very attractive wall with bands of different sized stones used to create a functional and decorative wall. The interesting thing is that there are holes in the wall to allow trees to come through the wall. There are different styled arches for the various trees. In this area NO trees are allowed to be cut down and damaged in any way. The India military owns all the trees on this hillside and there are very large fines for harming a tree. So. you must allow for the trees to continue to grow through the retaining wall.
The same thing is true when a road is improved from a track to a road where cars and go. This happened down near the Woodstock sports field, Hanson field. When a road was put in to allow vehicles to go onto the field. The road was paved with cement but the grown trees were left and now grow out of the paved road. It is quite a sight.
No sunset this evening thanks to the low clouds.
