What’s Different – Trees in the Middle of the Road

Tree in Road

This is another one of my favorite things about Paraguay.  Mature trees are not cut down when a new residential road is excavated!  A reflector is simply placed on both sides of the tree and the road goes around it.  I fid it very winsome and it makes a great landmark too!

Fun!!!

Could you imagine this here in the states!! It would be down in a few weeks just from people driving too fast and running into it over and over!!

That's a nice looking tree! Glad they didn't cut it down...would be interesting to hear the explanations for trees in the road!

Yes! We have trees in the middle of the road and they work great as landmarks for newcomers!

I love Paraguayans' love for nature and its preservation.
