Billowing Downs: March 13, 2016


As we drove along through lanes deeply cut in the chalk, I kept likening the downs to long curved waves of the sea.  It is as though the land here, all molten once, & rolling in vast billows had solidified while the waves were still swollen & on the point of breaking.  From a height it looks as thought he whole land were flowing.
