environment by providing color, shelter, and shade.

and producing oxygen.

Cherry Blossom Tunnel , Germany
Each
spring, a peaceful street, located in the German city of Bonn,
transforms into an enchanting cherry blossom tunnel.
Photographer
Marcel Bednarz captured this stunning sight of cherry blossoms in full
bloom.
He
explained to me that there are actually two streets in Bonnwhere cherry
trees are planted, but the one you see in the above picture is called
Heerstraße.
As
you may know, the average cherry blossom lasts only between 7 and 10
days, depending on weather conditions.
09.Rua
Gonçalo de Carvalho, Brasil
Number
nine goes to Brazil ’s green tunnel from Porto Alegre, Rua Gonçalo de
Carvalho. According to a decree signed in 2006
by
former mayor Joseph Fogaça, this beautiful street is part of the
country’s historical, cultural, ecological and environmental heritage.
There
are more than one hundred towering Tipuana (Rosewood) trees along Rua
Gonçalo de Carvalho.
The
great shade trees stretch over three city blocks, which is a good thing
for the city’s overall health.
Did
you know that trees, properly planted around buildings, can reduce air
conditioning demands by up to 30%?

Autumn Tree Tunnel , USA
Photographed
in glorious autumn colors by Kevin McNeal, this tree tunnel is simply
astonishing!
The
picture was taken on the way up to Smuggler’s Notch, a Vermont state
park.
The
eye-catching foliage starts changing its color in the northern region,
in response to many
environmental
factors, and spreads south as the fall season advances.
07.Ginkgo
Tree Tunnel , Japan
Gingko
biloba is a highly venerated tree in Japanese culture. Six ginkgo trees
survived the Hiroshima bombing,
continuing
to grow despite facing so many challenges, and are still alive today.
Therefore,
the Japanese regard the gingko as “the bearer of hope”. It is also
known as “the survivor” or “the living fossil.”
Around
65,000 ginkgoes grace Tokyo ’s streets, gardens and parks today.
According
to some people who visited Tokyo , the tunnel you see in the above
picture is located in the outer garden of Meiji Shrine.
06.Yew
Tree Tunnel , UK
The
medieval Aberglasney House features one of the most beautiful gardens
in Wales , UK .
They
have been an inspiration to writers since 1470. The Yew Tunnel is a
popular tourist attraction in this area.
Believe
it or not, it took nine years of pruning to restore this unique
archway.
“Years
of neglect had left it unsafe and with a perilous future, as the once
formally clipped
structure
had grown even higher than the top of the Mansion itself. It is so nice
to see it looking invigorated and healthy
again, I had every confidence that
with careful restoration it would help its future longevity,
but
I have to confess that it did look drastic at the time,” declared
Graham Rankin, one of Aberglasney’s directors.
The
Yew Tunnel is thought to have been planted by the Dyer family of
Aberglasney, during the 18th century.
05.
The Dark Hedges, Northern Ireland
Tucked
away in the county of Antrim , these beautiful beech trees are thought
to be around 300 years old.
According
to local records, James Stuart planted the 150 beech trees in the 18th
century,
to
impress guests as they approached his splendid property, Gracehill
House.Legend tells that the spirit of a maid,
who
lived in a neighboring mansion and died in mysterious circumstances
hundreds of years ago,
haunts
the country road. “Grey Lady” silently floats along the road and quickly
disappears as she reaches the last beech tree.
04.
Bamboo Path , Japan
The
Sagano Bamboo Forestis located in Arashiyama, a nationally-designated
historic site.
The
pathway you see in the above picture is 500m long, and runs through one
of Japan ’s most beautiful bamboo forests.
No
wonder the Agency for Cultural Affairs declared Arashiyama a “Place of
Scenic Beauty”.
This
forest is close to many famous temple and shrines, including the
Adashino Nenbutsu-ji Temple .
The
sound the wind makes, as it blows through the tall bamboo trees,
has
been voted by the Japanese authorities as one of 100 must-preserve
sounds of Japan.
03.
Tunnel of Love , Ukraine
The
Ukrainian Tunnel of Love is actually a two-mile sector of private
railway that serves a woodworking plant near Klevan,
a
small city located in western Ukraine . I read somewhere that couples
pass through this romantic tunnel to make a wish.
The
myth goes that, if their love is strong and pure, the wish will come
true.
May
all of your wishes come true, but watch out for the train! It runs
three times a day through the leafy tunnel.
02.Jacarandas
Walk, South Africa
Over
10 million trees keep South Africa ’s largest city green. According to
several unofficial sources,
Johannesburgis
home to the world’s largest man-made forest.
There
are at least 49 species of Jacaranda, most of them native to South
America (particularly in
Uruguay
, Brazil , Peru & Argentina ), and the Caribbean basin. The
tropical trees were imported to
South
Africa over one hundred years ago.October is the month when the flowers
of thousands of
Jacaranda
trees are in full blossom. This spectacular tree tunnel is
located either in Johannesburg or Pretoria,
the
Jacaranda Citywhere 70,000+ Jacarandas add vivid splashes of
purple-blue to the urban landscape.
01.Wisteria
Tunnel , Japan
As
soon as the cherry blossom season ends, the gorgeous Wisteria flowers,
that hang in grape-like clusters,
take
their turn on the Japanese floral calendar. The Fuji Matsuri, or
Wisteria Festival, is celebrated
each
spring in Tokyo , Shizuoka , and Okazaki .The Ashikaga Flower Park is
one of the best places to admire different
varieties
of wisteria, including double-petaled wisteria, giant wisteria and
yellow, white, light pink or purple variants of wisteria.
