Cultural Voice

A Jamaican, a German, an Ethiopian and a French person walk through a beech forest... ...and have a wonderful time laughing, marvelling, and frolicking in a sea of Bluebells that form an ethereal layer just above the forest floor amidst the skinny trunks of the trees of the forest. The beech trees, in fresh bloom, seem to stretch like I do every morning, towards to sunlight. Every spring for 3 weeks only, Hallerbos, a beech forest near Halle, Belgium, becomes a place of magic, myth and wonder and a sea of blue. Enjoy the view!
