Wānaka Willow Tree, Wanaka, Nový Zéland

O tomto kameni

Vŕba z Wānaky, známejšia ako That Wānaka Tree, patrí k najfotografovanejším dominantám Nového Zélandu. Je to osamelá vŕba krehká, ktorá vyrastá priamo z plytkých vôd jazera Lake Wānaka, pričom kulisu jej tvoria Južné Alpy. Pôvodne ju vôbec nevysadili ako malebný strom – svoj život začala v 30. rokoch 20. storočia ako vŕbový stĺp plotu používaný na ohradenie dobytka. Nečakane však zakorenila a vyrástol z nej ikonický strom, aký uvidíš dnes. Jej celosvetová sláva odštartovala po tom, čo hmlistá fotografia vyhrala v roku 2014 súťaž New Zealand Geographic Photo of the Year a hashtag #ThatWanakaTree sa stal populárnym.

The Wānaka Willow, better known as That Wānaka Tree, is one of New Zealand's most photographed landmarks. It is a solitary crack willow growing directly out of the shallow waters of Lake Wānaka, with the Southern Alps as its backdrop. Originally, it wasn't planted as a scenic tree at all—it began life in the 1930s as a willow fence post used to contain livestock. It unexpectedly took root and grew into the iconic tree seen today. Its worldwide fame took off after a misty photograph won New Zealand Geographic Photo of the Year in 2014, and the hashtag #ThatWanakaTree became popular.
