Man creates a giant guitar shaped forest

In the remote Argentine Pampas you can find an incredible forest formed in the shape of a guitar. More than 35 years ago, Pedro Ureta unexpectedly lost his wife to a brain aneurysm. Devastated by the loss of his love, he decided to create a shrine to her memory in their field that could only be seen above-head from an airplane. Ureta chose a guitar because it was his late wife’s most loved instrument.

Ureta’s creation stretches two-thirds of a mile and boasts a beautiful blooming eucalyptus handle, a star-shaped center, and an outline of lush green cypress trees. The idea to build the tribute to his wife, Graciela, came years earlier when she was flying over the fields of the Pampas and saw a shape that resembled a milk pail. Graciela suggested they create a design of their own in the family’s fields.
