I love the tree that looks like a bridge. Where is it? If it's easily accessible I think I'd try to visit it.

Trees are some of our greatest treasure. The tree in Athens that is called,\"The tree that owns itself\" is called that because the town deeded the land surrounding the tree to the tree so it could never be cut down.
