Pretending that the Creator (whatever that is) meant shrubs etc to look like rigid three dimensional blocks, or worse still animals, is unnatural, absurd and ugly to my eyes, Others, I admit, enjoy the delusion the natural world has been āconquered and improvedā by our species but to me itās a delusion. One of the worst examples of this practice of torturing nature is Prince Charles horrid little effort to curb the natural worlds anarchic ways ( see below). In fact, if memory serves me, it was a French philosopher who upon viewing the heavens remarked. āHow odd of God not to lay the heavens out like a formal gardenā YUK! ! !Some of the best on the planet apart from their obsession with topiary.The British and their gardensā¦

In France when esposed to the kind of madness below I was overcome with an urge to attack the place with a pickaxe.
The English landscape has been cultivated over the centuries. It has not developed naturally like that.
