1. Smiley Forest — Oregon, USA
A forester planted larch trees among Douglas firs to create a giant smiley face visible every autumn when the trees turn golden. The natural artwork covers a hillside and can be seen from the air for miles around.
From one of our followers on Facebook:
“I work for the company that planted this. As the caption says, this is created by western larch trees (the yellow) creatively planted in a stand of Douglas fir. Unlike most conifers that stay green year-round, larch turns yellow in fall and loses its needles.
The smiley face is almost invisible in spring and summer when all the trees are green but makes a great showing in fall.
