RE: I invite YOU to CHILL OUT - Today's Beautiful Forest walk story in Pictures
Is there anything I need to do other than ask you very nicely, credit you and refer everybody to your page if I want to use the birch trees (No.2) for my upcoming HCS post on birch elixer spring-detox? (series: Holistic Care for Steemians, generally every Sunday).
You are more than welcome. Anytime.
Post a link here when you have it up (I am following you, but a lot of good posts get buried away in the flow...)
By the way the bitch trees you see in the 3rd, 7th & 8th photos have an interesting story to them. (there is a 9/11 twin tower replica behind the trees near the walk)
I took this extract from a website that explain it well:
9-11 Memorial:
A scale replica of the World Trade Centre Twin Towers, made from local limestone, standing 2.7 metres high. The memorial is based exactly on the architectural plans of the Twin Towers themselves and stands in a special grove of trees in Donadea Forest Park.
One of the firefighters who lost his life on September 11th as he went up the steps of the North Tower was Sean Tallon, a young Donadea man whose family emigrated to the U.S.A. To remember Sean and his colleagues, and all the other public officials who died on that awful day, this wonderful memorial is a fitting tribute to their unselfishness and bravery.
The memorial stones are engraved with the names of the 402 New York City public officials who died in the attack on the towers on September 11th 2001, was unveiled at a special ceremony in Donadea on Sunday, September 21st, 2003.
The project attracted huge interest in New York and in the United States. In 2002 over one hundred firefighters and members of the NYPD came especially to Donadea for a tree planting ceremony to honour the victims of September 11th.
