A man in Argentina planted a guitar-shaped forest of 7,000 trees, and more than 1km in length, in memory of his wife who loved music.
Known locally as Estancia La Guitarra, the forest is a "living monument" created by an Argentinian farmer, Pedro Martín Ureta, in memory of his late wife, Graciela Yraizoz.
The Inspiration: Graciela had the idea after flying over another farm that happened to be shaped like a milk pail. She suggested creating a guitar-shaped design on their own land, as it was her favorite instrument.
The Tragedy: Graciela passed away suddenly in 1977 at the age of 25 from a brain aneurysm.
The Project: Devastated by the loss, Ureta began planting the forest in 1979 with the help of his four children. It reportedly took several decades of cultivation and protection from pests to fully mature
