Photo by Owen Tyler In the distant background, the statue of Diana stands before a double grove of hemlock trees that seem to form the letter "V." The Rampe Douce is at the base of the slope. The lawn between was originally mowed by a horse-or mule-drawn tractor fitted with blades. The fountain below is in the center of the Rampe Douce. Photo by Owen Tyler
