Jacaranda Walk, Tree tunnel in Brisbane, Australia
The Jacaranda Walk features rows of purple-flowering trees forming a natural archway above the street, creating long corridors of color during spring.
The introduction of Jacaranda trees to Brisbane in the 1850s marked the beginning of a botanical transformation that shaped the city's current landscape.
Students at the University of Queensland associate the purple blooms with examination period, considering them a natural calendar for academic schedules.
Visitors can experience the purple canopy from late October through November, with early morning hours providing the best natural light for photography.
The natural tunnel creates temperature variations of up to 5 degrees Celsius cooler than surrounding streets during Australian summer months.

These botanical paths feature beech trees, cherry blossoms, bamboo, maple and oak trees. The branches form natural vaults over roads, paths and railway lines. Some were deliberately planted, others developed over decades. The tunnels provide shade in summer and change their appearance with the seasons.
