This clearing is on the sloping face of a descending pasture with full southern exposure.  The upper, center section will be used for vegetable gardens surrounded by clover mowed lawn and wild grass-fields.  The broad, ascending path on the lower right climbs an equivalent of a 4 story building over a span of  150'.  It's steep, and angular, slowing the ascent enough to provide time to watch the path unravel in front, and above you, finally opening on to the central garden above.  The view from here, looking South, South-West overlooks Bethel Valley.
