Monument to the Tree of Happiness, Ivano-Frankivsk

The Tree of Happiness mon ument was presented to Ivano-Frankivsk by the participants of the 2008 Blacksmiths' Festival, which is held annually on the occasion of the City Day. It was installed in one of the flowerbeds where maple saplings had not taken root for many years.

The joint efforts of the participants of the fourth Blacksmiths' Festival created a three-meter-high monument, the Tree of Happiness. The branches of the tree are decorated with many forged elements, including:

• an image of Adam and Eve with an apple;
• a children's favorite hanging swing;
• a human orchestra;
• a firebird;
• amazing flowers and much more.
