Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde has created an LED-lit  glowing bike path that. The solar-powered LED lights glow at night, and give cyclers a trippy ride that looks like Van Gogh’s Starry Night painting.

The path is less than a mile long, and was created using both glow-in-the-dark tools and solar-powered LEDs. Find it in Brabant, the Dutch county where Van Gogh was born and raised.

The Dutch, blessed with flat ground and a love for the simpler things in life, love cycling and sports like skating. Activities that get us to places in a very sustainable way. After Israel’s solar powered tree which lights up at night, we want to see more artists like this developing ways to make our travels more extraordinary!

The Christ’s thorn (sidr tree) is also a well-known folk medicine

1
Christ’s thorn jujube (Ziziphus spina-christi) also known as the sidr tree is a real, identifiable tree native to the Middle East, and it appears—directly or indirectly—in Islam, Judaism, and later Christian tradition. The connections between the three faiths are not theological agreements but overlapping uses, names, and symbolic associations rooted in the same landscape.
