Pics: Man has ten years to kill, decides to cut his hedge into a dragon

This is very impressive.

This is very impressive.

Boredom can become a productive thing.

John Brooker, a 75-year-old gardener from King’s Lynn in the UK, has spent the last ten years sculpting a massive dragon out of his hedge.

The 100-foot long dragon has long wings, sharp teeth and six pairs of legs.

“I was standing at my kitchen sink one day and thought the hedge was boring so decided to do something with it,” he said.

“The shape just suggested itself. It was just a completely-straight privet hedge to start with. Then I thought I’d carve some arches in the other end, then a head and it just came from there.”
