Almost a Blank canvas

This was the area immediately around the house click on the photograph to enlarge it and you will get an idea how bad the land was. 

The small patch of broken earth was created with a full sized pick, we're going to need a bigger tool!

Eyes in the Sky

This photograph and the following one were taken by our neighbour who hired a helicopter to photograph his newly built house in the final phase of the construction. We had no idea who it was but realised that the chopper was paying us a lot of attention.

If I had known about the helicopter ride I would have offered to share the cost it would have been great to have an opportunity to photograph from the air.
