They renew our air  supply by soaking  up carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. 10. Cherry Blossom Tunnel, Germany <a href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/259/10cherryblossomtunnelge.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/3875/10cherryblossomtunnelge.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> 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 Bonn  where 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 more after the break... 09. Rua Gonçalo de Carvalho, Brasil <a href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/835/09ruagonalodecarvalhobr.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/5272/09ruagonalodecarvalhobr.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> 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%? 08. Autumn Tree Tunnel, USA <a href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/89/08autumntreetunnelusa.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/8749/08autumntreetunnelusa.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> 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 <a href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/826/07ginkgotreetunneljapan.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/7194/07ginkgotreetunneljapan.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> 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 <a href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/33/06yewtreetunneluk.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/598/06yewtreetunneluk.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> 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 <a href="http://ritemail.blogspot.in/2012/12/top-10-beautiful-tree-tunnels.html" target="_blank"> again</a>, 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 <a href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/46/05thedarkhedgesnorthern.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/8899/05thedarkhedgesnorthern.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> 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 <a href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/41/04bamboopathjapan.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/5803/04bamboopathjapan.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> The  Sagano Bamboo Forest is 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 <a href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/72/03tunnelofloveukraine.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/2894/03tunnelofloveukraine.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> 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 <a href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/402/02jacarandaswalksouthaf.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/7325/02jacarandaswalksouthaf.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Over 10 million trees keep South Africa’s largest city green. According to several unofficial sources, Johannesburg is 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 City where 70,000+  Jacarandas add vivid splashes of purple-blue to the urban landscape. 01. Wisteria Tunnel, Japan <a href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/705/01wisteriatunneljapan.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/2483/01wisteriatunneljapan.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> 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. මට ඊමෙල් ඒකකින් අවෙ... <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/P.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":P" title=":P    :P" data-shortname=":P" /> සලකලා ගියත් අවුලක් නෑ මචන් <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/wink.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" data-shortname=";)" /> </blockquote>
