A homeowner concerned that his garden was becoming a jungle - has transformed it into a herd of elephants.
Green-fingered Gavin Hogg decided the hedge outside his kitchen window had grown wild, so he set about it with a power-trimmer, shears and even a pair of scissors.
The 49-year-old carefully carved out seven adult elephants and three babies, using a photo to guide him.Now the unique topiary hedge has become a tourist attraction outside his home in Brecon, South Wales.
Mr Hogg said: 'I found a picture of a group of elephants and set about shaping the hedge - it took me about two days.
'The ears and trunks were a but tricky but I am pleased with the end result.'
The father-of-two and his wife Vina fell in love with elephants after going on a safari holiday to Kenya.
