From the album: The statues: Hogmoor Inclosure photos
A kaleidoscope of colour! An old sandstone embankment where, after years of Army tanks driving past on their training missions, a deep passage has been carved through some slightly elevated ground. I find the sheer variety of mosses and lichens that now cover these banks to be absolutely fascinating - especially when you look at them in close-up detail. The Hogmoor Enclosure nature reserve in Hampshire, South of England. -

A bit of exposed sandstone alongside one of the old Tank Driver training circuits in the Hogmoor Inclosure nature reserve. This used to be a busy military training ground but in recent years, the Army moved out and the area was turned into a public recreation space. The "nature" was always here - it's just a bit quieter these days without the Army tanks... -
All quiet now! Nature rapidly reclaiming an old tank trackway

From the album: The statues: Hogmoor Inclosure photos
One of the old trackways in the Hogmoor Inclosure, which the British Army once used to train military tank drivers - now a local nature reserve. These trackways used to be gloriously full of deep, water-filled ruts and the sound of the mighty army tanks rumbling by. It's only a few short years since the Army pulled out of the Inclosure but all of the old tank driver training routes are rapidly returning to nature.
