A trip into town 08

 This road is lined with four rows of trees. During December each year they place thousands of small lights in the trees. It is very pretty and this has become a drawing card for the winter season. Also the path in the middle contains a number of very good sculptures and benches to sit on while admiring them.
 I am not sure what this stone structure was originally but it is right in front of one of the entrances to the subway and a volunteer group has turned it into a little garden. There is a florist nearby that sells both cut and potted plants, so maybe the group is related to that store.
 Here is a view from another angle. It is actually quite nice. Especially when exiting the subway. There is a long boring escalator ride up from below and then the first thing you see when reaching ground level is a garden - a nice feeling.
A little further on, passed the entrance to the subway, there is a large stone sculpture. There was one around when I took the picture but the height of the left side is about the same as a person.
