Hallo iedereen,
Deze afbeelding werd me toegestuurd. Ontroerend maar of we het verhaal moeten geloven?


Mvg Yente

ik ken het ook .
Maar of dat het echt is het is tensloten gewoon een fiets in een boom.
Een verhaaal is rap gemaakt dus ja of nee zult ge nooit weten.

@ Walex, we zullen het wel weten

It's on Vashon Island, in Puget Sound, Washington State. It is real, not photoshopped. It is locally famous. Berkeley Breathed wove a story around this very bicycle in his delightful illustrated book "Red Ranger Came Calling". It's still a big mystery how the bike ended up there. It's been there for decades. Trees do not grow upward from the base of the trunk, they grow from the tips of the topmost branches. Trunks expand outward, not upward, so that if, for example, someone carved a name at eye level on the bark, that name would stay at eye level for the life of the tree. Someone had to have climbed up there on a ladder or something to place the bike there, decades ago, probably in the late 1940's or early 1950's (NOT 1914). I'm fairly sure it was placed there as a practical joke. I suspect a small handful of locals may know the secret--but if so, it's a carefully kept secret. There are many theories...

klinkt wel logisch maar 100% is het ook niet opgelost he
