World's Most Amazing Christmas Trees!!


Shopping Carts / Trolleys (California, USA)
Looking even more amazing than a real one, this tree made by artist Anthony SchmittIn is entirely made from shopping carts! The artist says that the tree “symbolizes both generosity and abundance, as well as acknowledging those less fortunate”, but I see it as a point that Christmas has become a compulsion to spend and lost its original meaning.

Cooler Bottles (Bangkok, Thailand)
Every year at Christmas time the Siam Discovery Centre in Bangkok makes amazing trees made entirely from recycled bottles! there was lots of different kinds to choose from, but I went with this one made of massive water cooler bottles.

In December 2012, the world's largest floating Christmas tree was lit in Rio de Janeiro during an event that featured lights, music and fireworks. Thousands of people turned out for the lighting of the Christmas tree, which featured a theme of the four seasons. The 542-ton tree is 85 meters (almost 280 feet) tall and was built on 11 enormous platforms in Rodrigo de Freitas lagoon.

This Christmas tree, which is illuminated by 3.1 million lights, was officially certified by Guinness World Records as the largest of its kind in the world, said Bradesco Seguros, which sponsored the event. The tree includes an adaptation of The Wizard of Oz with Dorothy, the Wizard and the other characters taking a virtual trip to Jerusalem, Rome, Moscow, New York, London and Rio de Janeiro to experience Christmas around the world.



 Charlotte N.C, a Charlotte holiday tradition will continue for its 58th year on Dec. 8 and 9. The Singing Christmas Tree was started in 1953 as a group of singers performing on the steps of a funeral home in Charlotte, according to associate executive director Bev Seitz.

In 1954, it became the first singing Christmas tree production in the United States when the singers performed inside Ovens Auditorium, where it has been ever since. 


 A French chocolatier has created a 32-foot-high chocolate Christmas tree in his laboratory in Paris. Patrick Rogers' creation will be used to raise funds for a television charity event to support research into neuromuscular diseases. The tree, which is currently towering inside the chocolatier's factory in Sceaux, weighs four tons and, according to Mr Rogers, is a piece of "architecture." He said, “To achieve this kind of architecture – because this really is a piece of architecture – we used a sort of cavity inside to make the chocolate solid enough, because there is very strong vertical pressure." The chocolate Christmas tree will be shown on France's Telethon, a nationwide charity appeal show, and viewers will receive part of the sugary sculpture in exchange for a donation.



 Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi has unveiled what is thought to be the world's most expensive Christmas tree, valued at more than $11 million. The 40-foot faux evergreen, located in the gold leaf-bedecked rotunda of the hotel, is decorated with silver and gold bows, ball-shaped ornaments and small white lights.

What makes the tree highly valued are its jewelry decorations. The tree has a total of 181 diamonds, emeralds, pearls, sapphires and other precious stones. The bracelets, necklaces and watches which adorn the world's most expensive Christmas tree are provided by the Style Gallery.

Hans Olbertz, general manager of the hotel, said, "The tree itself is about $10,000. The jewelry has a value of over $11 million. I think 11.4m, 11.5m." He added that the hotel would apply to the Guinness Book of World Records to find out if its tree is the most expensive ever


 Japanese jeweler Ginza Tanaka, which specializes in gold accessories, showcases their 2.4 meter high gold Christmas tree, in collaboration with Walt Disney Japan, in commemoration of Walt Disney's 110th anniversary. The tree is made of 88 pounds of gold which consists of 50 popular Disney characters. The selling price is 350 million Japanese yen (approximately 4.2 million US dollars). The Christmas tree will be displayed at the Ginza Tanaka store until December 25, 2012. 


After many years of installing a natural Christmas tree in the main public square of Brussels, Belgium, this year's tree is artificial, abstract, and electronic.

The enormous Christmas "tree" has been unveiled at the center of Brussels, though some people are displeased with the city's modern take on a holiday tradition. Created by the French collective 1024 Architecture, the "Abies Electronicus" is an 82-foot steel-ribbed installation that replaces the real pine tree typically on display at the city's central square. Every night, the structure comes to life with a light and sound show, replete with shimmering lights, glowing cubes, and a mix of both holiday and industrial music. Also, unlike traditional trees, visitors can actually climb to the top of the Abies Electronicus for a panoramic view of the city.

Still, some citizens are not pleased with the structure, preferring a traditional tree.


                                                  
Here is an art installation which claims to be the world's biggest blown glass tree. It's in the central Campo Santo Stefano square in Murano (an island of the Venice lagoon). It was made by Simone Cenedese, a Venetian master glass artist. Its total height is 8.5 meters and weighs 3 tons, featuring 1,000 glass tubes.
