Wisteria-Tunnel
Planet Earth is home to some amazing and beautiful places, bursting with colorful and diverse flora that captivates the imagination of humanity with their splendor, purity, grace, and magnificence and allow for moments of peaceful meditation, silent rapture, or jovial appreciation. Often a portrait of controlled chaos is depicted through the natural workings of Mother Nature or may reflect a kaleidoscope of man-made creations and cultivation that almost seem to manipulate time and space. Around the world, numerous iconic reflections of beautiful form, purpose, and function have been formed into tunnels, created and sculpted by statuesque trees and their branches, or by an endless canopy of flowers perfectly perched and suspended overhead.

These photographs of fifteen of the most spectacular tree tunnels and canopies from across the planet, whether pristine, divine or conceived by man, are the makings of stories and the backdrop to incredible moments of exploration and discovery.
