Topiary

Sculpted garden hedges...

This is a cemetery in the small city of Tulcan, right on the northern boarder of Ecuador with Colombia. There are litterally hundreds of these hedge sculptures and they are all 2-4m in height...
These things take lots of effort and time to create and Ive never seen anything quite like this place... I think they have been doing it consistently for about seventy years...

I guess it keeps the dead people there entertained?

...lots of pictures :))































































... and on to the next attraction! :))
