The heart rending clash of urban and rural, manscape and landscape, the
natural and artificial is beautifully caught here. 'Where is my home? Have I
been here before? ' very telling.
I used to think manscape would always dominate but sometimes I see an
uncurling dandelion lifting tarmac or a pussy willow thriving 6 foot up
Tower Bridge and know who will triumph in the end.Good work Ryfkah. Regards
Arthur.
