[שאלה]
ניתן לזהות אורנים על-ידי עליהם הארוכים דמויי המחט וצורת אצטרובליהם. ממקום זה, האם תוכל למצוא קבוצה של כ-8 עצמי אורן ירושלמים? התוכל למצוא מספר עצי אורן משני מינים נוספים?

[a question]
You can know pines by their especially long, needle-shaped leaves and the shapes of their cones. From this place, can you find a group of about eight Aleppo pines? Can you find two other types of pines?

[התשובה לשאלה]
8 עצי אורן ירושלים מקיפים למחצה את המבנה הסמוך עם הכיפה. אם תפנה אליהם, 6 עצי אורן קנרי יהיו מאחוריך לאורך חומת האבן; מספר עצי אורן צנובר יהיו לימינך, מאחורי עץ הברוש הצר-מחודד (שני האחרונים הינם עצים מס. 31 ו-41 (צ"ל 13 Click for sign's details ו- 14 Click for sign's details) שתפגוש בהמשך סיור העצים).

[The Answer to the question]
Eight Aleppo pines partly surround the nearby domed building. As you face these, six Canary Islands pines are behind you, along the stone wall; several umbrella pines are on your right, behind a narrow, sharply pointed cypress tree.
