Friends!




Friends! In Israel, they say: "Man is nothing more than a copy of the landscapes of his homeland." These words come to mind when you first get into one of the most unusual parks in Israel - "Park Olive" in the southern part of Jerusalem.

By 1967, along with this place was the border between Israel and Jordan. Here there were heavy battles during the Six-Day War. The time passed and to the 30th anniversary of the victory of Israel in this confrontation, the sculptor Run Minor managed to embody an unusual idea. He decided to install three 15-meter columns, and on the top - three trees of oil.

The roots of oil that stretches to the ground, means the eternal pull of the Jewish people to their homeland. And the island of trees symbolizes Jerusalem.

All this beauty was built for quite a long time - 10 years. First, they brought separately trees intended for the top of the sculpture. They were planted in separate tanks, where they were acclimatized. Alongside, 200 other oils were planted from different countries. Finally, they installed columns with a special irrigation system and finished the composition. Now the park consists of 27 rows of trees and this mighty sculpture.

This is not the first interesting job of Ran Morin. If you've been to the old Jaffa, you will immediately remember his other work - "Orange tree." This tree is soaring above the ground.

Friends! It's always worth remembering who you are and from which landscape you are clogged up.
