New York - The Enchanted Forest

“Enter these enchanted woods you who dare”
— George Meredith

The forest can be approached by land, sea or air, of these sea is probably the most dramatic. The first person you meet is the guardian of the forest and all it stands for,

Then you see the edges of the forest itself, showing the different colours of the tree trunks.

From the forest floor you can look up into the tall trees or view them through the enchanted mirrors

and at night they twinkle with fairy lights.

It's possible to climb one or two of the taller trees - if you dare, (those high speed lifts are really quite scary) and look down onto the forest.

from the Top of the Rock

some trees stand out more than others!

Empire State Building

The view from the top is even more enchanting at night

From the Empire State Building

In every direction,

whether you are looking at the treetops or the forest floor, busy with activity from the  yellow ants and other creatures

As in every forest there are some special trees

The Chrysler Building

They came to maturity at different times

Flatiron

This one was the 'Major Oak' for a long time

Empire State Building

and the youngest of these significant trees bears a very important message: that of rebirth and hope.

The World Trade Centre

Well that's enough adventures for today - see you next time

“But, of course, it isn’t really Good-bye, because the Forest will always be there... and anybody who is friendly with Bears can find it. ”
— AA Milne
