Old dwellings

These dwellings are in the countryside, they used to build up dirt around their homes to make a wall and then plant trees around the whole perimeter. The roots grow around and through the mound of dirt creating a very strong defensive structure for their land and homes. When people came they would lower a plank to let their visitors in or out.

Its beautiful and inventive!


There was a field of horses near by and so we went to say hello.
