The photograph shows the currently used paths in the grassland bowed toward the lower left by encroaching shrubs while faint scars above reveal where the paths once passed. In the grassland these old paths are obliterated by grass; in the shrub zone they remain bare and become broader. The great broad white zones of bare ground both insid...
