Guitar-Shaped Farmstead
 ✖  |
Shortly after Pedro Ureta’s wife Graciela died of a brain aneurysm at the age of 25 in 1977, he started planting trees around his farmstead in the shape of a guitar. Before her death, Graciela had talked to Pedro about turning their farm into a giant work of art, but she agreed with Pedro that they would have to wait until they had more time to work on it.
Stretching for 2/3 of a mile, the multi-colored living guitar was created with an outline of mostly cypress trees, with blue strings made using eucalyptus trees. Ironically, Pedro himself is afraid of flying and has only seen the guitar he created in photos.
