PHOTOS: Farmer creates maze in the shape of Usain Bolt

It’s a far cry from Usain Bolt-shaped mazes we were reared…

WHEN A FARMER in England decided to create a maze on his land, he opted for something timely and just a bit unconventional.

Tom Robinson used his 15 acre field of maze to pay tribute to the fastest man on earth by creating a maze in the shape of Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt doing his trademark lightening pose.

The giant maze includes over 5 kilometres of pathways and stands over 150 metres long from the top to the bottom. Check it out:

    I think farmers should forget about the maze and concentrate on the maize.
