More bamboo. The drive on the left goes to a neighbor's house. The indentation in the fence on the right contains some non-bamboo plantings.

The driveway to the bamboo house had a closed heavy wood gate. I walked all over the area and couldn't find a back access road or alley. Being curious, I peeked over the fence in the one spot in the driveway in front of the gate and got this view.

Behind that fence is nearly a block of nothing but bamboo. Hmmm. Did Alan forget to rhizome prune this spring?
