Site: Chilean "disappeared" - Monkey Puzzle (1 memorial)

SE1, Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park

This is actually one of a pair of these stunning trees, the other being just outside our photo, to the left. It has no plaque or any indication that it commemorates anything but perhaps it was planted in commemoration of Yurich's husband who was also disappeared and the plaque has been lost.
