My jury rigged ultra macro is as far as I know a one of a kind, the bed spread it's shown on is also a one off cyanotype, so both would be rare

I'm trying to figure out the rectangular green blocks either side beyond the tower. I take it they are growing, but they puzzle me.

Topiary I think. I have only the same framing (2011) of the tower with gardens behind and they look the  same. I've got pictures of the tower from the gardens but not showing any part of them.

edit: (kate) I found a lone picture of the tower from the gardens.  The "green blocks" are trees, often several trees in a group, cropped to give a rectangular cuboid canopy.  I could have cropped in closer but I think this shows it OK.
