This collection of photographs consists of streets that are glorious with natural adornment. Flowers and trees so lush and mature in their state of growth that they form colorful canopies which frame the streets.
This is a user-submitted list that invites readers to post other photographs matching the theme. I can think of of such a walkway that fits the bill but is not represented: The Mall, a row of gorgeous Elm trees lining a wide street in Central Park. Have you encountered any such streets in your travels that are missing from the list? See all the photos here.

Blaagh! My back cringes at the thought of people whipping wisteria stems, shouting "Bloom! Bloom, damn you!"
Eran Hadas (friends with Keren Katz) also commented on Keren Katz's photo.

LOTS of hebrew all over the various props, not just vader.
The most common line was "starwars l'ad" or Star Wars forever.
And for the record, the last line starts with an Ayin, not a Yod. It spells "Ad." (roughly: until) The word after that looks like "sh'zachah" which means something like "he merits it". I can't read the second line because it's upside-down and poorly pictured on top of that (even when I rotate, having trouble differentiating letters). First line starts with "ein" (which is a negative, depends on the verb after it) and is followed by a present-tense verb that I can't read because the letters are run together and the image is low quality.
the top line i can only make out a few letters clearly.
the middle line looks upside down.
the last line looks like it starts (hebrew reads r-l) with the word "yad", meaning hand.
boosting the argument is that yad is often used as the start of phrases/compound nouns like "hand of _____" and the fact that the letter patterns in all lines look right (words starting with the aleph character, silent vowels and consonants alternated, etc.)
