Boundary markers on meadowland.
Usually features likecreeks or tracks form the border, but here's the
exception to the rule: a boundary line across meadowland. Attempts
have been made to adjust the boundary line at this place, since all of the
land on both sides of the border is owned by one (German) farmer, but it
has proved impossible to find an adequate area of the same size in
exchange...! | |
